Criminal Offense Modifications

SB 18 makes minor technical corrections to existing Utah criminal code sections without changing substantive laws. It fixes outdated references in dangerous weapon sale rules, corrects numbering errors in sexual battery statutes, and adds a missing penalty for distributing harmful material to minors. The bill also updates offense names for public assistance fraud and patterns of unlawful activity to align with current legal references. These changes ensure the criminal code remains accurate and consistent but do not create new offenses or alter penalties. The bill requires no funding and has no direct impact on citizens or law enforcement procedures.
