  • HB428: Bail Bond Amendments (2019)
    This bill modified the process for judges to offer bail, effectively eliminating the ability of a judge to offer a low, cash-only bail option.

  • HB198: Concealed Carry Amendments (2017)
    Prior to this bill, Utah law allowed adults age 21 and over to obtain a concealed carry permit. This bill created a provisional permit accessible to adults age 18 to 21 to conceal carry a firearm.

    This bill passed the House 63-12 and passed the Senate 23-6. Libertas supports a "yea" vote because the right to keep and bear arms is fundamental and should be available to all adults; this bill is a path in the right direction.
