Utah Code 53-5a-102 broadly preempts local firearm regulation, reserving authority to the Legislature with limited exceptions for state property and government buildings.
Section 53-5a-102 declares that the Legislature occupies the whole field of firearm regulation and prohibits political subdivisions from enacting or enforcing ordinances regulating the purchase, sale, transfer, ownership, possession, transportation, registration, or licensing of firearms. The preemption applies to counties, cities, towns, school districts, and special districts. Local rules conflicting with state law are void, and a person adversely affected may seek declaratory or injunctive relief plus reasonable attorney fees. Limited exceptions allow regulation on government property and certain critical infrastructure under state law.
Local officials enacting or enforcing void firearm ordinances may face civil suits, attorney fee awards, and injunctive relief obtained by aggrieved persons.
