Exemptions from Dangerous Weapons Provisions

HB 94 adds specific exemptions to Utah's dangerous weapons laws. It exempts law enforcement and other officials performing duties under state law, and it allows farmers with farm custom slaughter licenses to discharge firearms while following state regulations. The bill clarifies that these groups are not subject to penalties for discharging weapons in certain circumstances covered by existing statutes. These changes do not alter the penalties for violations but explicitly state who is exempt from the general prohibitions. The bill makes technical updates to Utah Code sections 76-10-508 and 76-10-508.1 without appropriating new funds.
