Firearms Liability Amendments

Summary

The bill changes Utah’s civil‑liability rules so that manufacturers, sellers and trade associations can only be sued for the unlawful misuse of a gun or accessory if the plaintiff shows the defendant acted with gross negligence, recklessness or intent, and meets strict pleading requirements. It also gives prevailing defendants attorney‑fee awards, lets them appeal certain dismissals, blocks foreign nations from suing, and stops local governments from creating their own liability rules.
