  Transcript (31 turns)

  1. Committee chair37:14

     Alright, then we will turn the time. We have our first bill is HB 84 sub two, higher Education Dangerous Weapon Amendments. Representative Brooks, let me turn on your speaker. There you go.

  2. Rep. Walt Brooks37:28

     Thank you, Mr. Chair. So, HB 84, the first sub was basically fixing a mistake that happened last year. So in our code, you could always open, carry and conceal, carry on higher ed campuses, um, with or without a permit for what, the last five years. But when we reified it changed a few pieces that changed that. So, um, my first was just getting back to way it used to be, but open carrying does cause a lot of concern with a lot of people, especially on campuses working with the, the higher ed commissioner, we removed that piece. So it is just concealed carry weapons is the only thing that it's allowed on higher ed campuses. And that concludes my presentation.

  3. Committee chair38:10

     Okay. Well, thank you. Then we'll open it up to the committee for any questions or comments from the committee. Seeing none, we will open it up to the public. Is there anyone here to speak to this bill? I see 1, 2, 3. Okay. So, uh, come up and we'll let you state your name and who you're representing and, uh, oh, where's my timer? Hang on. All right. We'll give everybody a, uh, shall we do a minute and a half? Is that good? Yeah. All right. Okay. Ready to go? Thank you.

  4. Brad Asay, President, American Federation of Teachers Utah39:02

     Thank you. I'm Brad AC, the president of a FT Utah, and we are the union that represents higher education faculty and staff across the state. Our local, uh, union, uh, the Utah College Council, uh, local 47 38. In the original bill, we were opposing it, uh, because of what was just stated with the, the open carry and, uh, some of the many things that we dealt with at Utah Valley University, uh, and the incidents there, but really appreciate the sponsor working with higher ed and, uh, the substitutes. So, uh, we are no longer, uh, opposed to that. Bill, I just wanted to thank the, thank the sponsor for, uh, taking a look at that. Thanks.

  5. Committee chair39:45

     All right. Thank you. And, uh, let me reset this. Okay. Who's next? Come on up, identify yourself and Yes, thank you. After you've done sign the sheet. Okay. Go ahead.

  6. Drew Wilcox, resident40:00

     Hi, my name is Drew Wilcox. I am a faculty, uh, tenured faculty in the higher education institution in the state of Utah. Um, I'm here in support of this. I am a lifelong Utah and I have multiple weapons and I do carry, and until just a few weeks ago discovered we were not following the law by carrying on campus and concealing, um, we don't feel it's appropriate to carry, to open carry on campus. It has a completely different purpose. I don't see that as needed, but to conceal carry, I do have, I do see a definite need there. Um, you know, one of the things that didn't make sense to me, um, I've been around guns my whole life. I teach hunter safety courses for the state division, wildlife Resources, and I'm trusted to conceal on one side of the sidewalk. But when I step across the sidewalk on the campus, I'm no longer trusted. And I didn't understand where that was coming from. So I think this makes perfect sense. The clarification is great and really allows us, um, to do our jobs and feel safe on campus.

  7. Committee chair41:00

     Alright. Thank you. Okay. Let's see. I had a third hand. Who's next? Go ahead and step up to the mic and identify yourself and who you represent and make your comments.

  8. Bill Pedersen, Director, Utah Shooting Sports Council41:17

     Yes, chair, uh, bill Peterson, uh, with the Director with Utah Shooting Sports Council here in Salt Lake. And, uh, we've been working with, uh, Representative Brooks on this. And, uh, this is a great bill. We're 100% behind this and we highly Recommend that the committee, uh, pass in favor, uh, of this bill.

  9. Committee chair41:37

     How's it? All right. Perfect. You have a minute back. Ah, thank you. Are there any online? Ra Cunningham? Okay. Rayley Cunningham, go ahead and turn on your camera. Turn on your microphone, identify yourself, where you live and who you represent.

  10. Raelle Cunningham, Northwest Regional Director, Women for Gun Rights42:03

      Okay. Uh, my name is Raelle Cunningham. I am the Northwest Regional Director of Women for Gun Rights, uh, and the Utah State Director here in the state for Women for gun rights as well. We just wanna thank Representative Brooks for this bill. We also are in support of it. Um, we don't wanna waste your time since there hasn't been any opposition, and so we just wanna throw our support behind it as well.

  11. Committee chair42:26

      Okay. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Seeing no further, uh, comments from the public, we'll close public comment and we'll bring it back to the Committee for action. I have a light from Representative Shipp.

  12. Rep. Rex P. Shipp42:46

      Uh, yeah. Thank you Mr. Chair. I'd like to reserve the right to make a motion. Okay. Uh, I'd just like to make, uh, uh, kind of an observation. I, uh, one question, I guess, uh, uh, representative on this is, you know, we live in a state of hunting. We all do a lot of hunting. I know you do. And, uh, so if, if somebody going to college, um, getting his rifle from his car into the dorm or something like that, is that gonna be a problem with this bill? Can he not carry it to, to the, to his dorm or his resident where he is living? If he's on campus

  13. Rep. Walt Brooks43:30

      Not with this bill. 'cause it's currently illegal to open carry. So if he was carrying a rifle across campus, that's already illegal to do. This just allows concealed carry without a permit.

  14. Rep. Rex P. Shipp43:42

      Okay. So that's not affecting the open carry then.

  15. Rep. Walt Brooks43:46

      Correct. 'cause it's already illegal. It's already illegal. Correct. You cannot, you cannot open carry on a higher ed campus

  16. Rep. Rex P. Shipp43:53

      Right now. So the, the example that I'm talking about, he couldn't bring his gun, uh, and put it in his dorm or anything. Uh

  17. Rep. Walt Brooks44:02

      Oh. He'd probably hunting leave it secured in his vehicle where it's concealed.

  18. Rep. Rex P. Shipp44:05

      That's what I wanted to clarify. Yes. Okay. So Mr. Chair, I'd like to make a, I'd like to move that we favorably, favorably recommend second sub HB 84.

  19. Committee chair44:20

      Alright. That motion is in order. The motion is that the committee pass out with a favorable recommendation, HB 84 second sub higher education dangerous weapon amendments.

  20. Unknown speaker44:33speaker not certain

      Did we adopt the sub Yet? I think it came to us with the sub. It was adopted in rules, a First sub, but I don't see a second sub. That's All. They Subbed it in rules. Mm-hmm. Yeah. If you look it up online, it should already be the one that you're looking at. Yeah. Alright.

  21. Committee chair44:50

      So, uh, any, any discussion to the motion to favorably pass out? Okay. Seeing none. Okay. We have a question or a comment to the motion to favorably recommend.

  22. Unknown speaker45:12speaker not certain

      Yes. Thank you so much. I walked in a little late. Um, I just, and I, I thank you for the good sponsor for hearing me out earlier today. I've been receiving a lot of text messages about this from students that are very concerned about what has happened and the trauma that they've endured on campus already and what this could do in the future. And I really just want to, um, I just really wanna say I, I hear them. I see them, and I totally understand. So thank you so much.

  23. Committee chair45:44

      Alright. Thank you. Okay. Uh, any other comments from the committee? Otherwise, we'll take it back to the sponsor of the bill for any No further

  24. Unknown speaker45:57speaker not certain

      Comments. Thank you for your time committee. Appreciate it.

  25. Committee chair45:58

      All right, thank you. What, there's a question over here, Representative Peck. I

  26. Rep. Nicholeen P. Peck46:04

      Just had a comment. Okay. Yeah, I really appreciate this. I just wanted to say this should have been done a long time ago. And I know people who have been concealed carrying on campuses for a long time saying, listen, they can lock me up if they want, but I am protecting myself, especially with what's going on on campuses. And there's people, um, very close to me who are probably gonna be really happy now that this is the way it is. So, thank you.

  27. Committee chair46:37

      Alright, thank you. So we'll bring it back to the committee for, uh, vote on the, oh, so we Uintah the bill sponsor to the sponsor of the motion.

  28. Unknown speaker46:47speaker not certain

      Yeah. Uh, just in the, our constitution, I'll mention Mr. Chair that, uh, the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. And so I think this kind of goes along with our Second Amendment rights and I really support the bill. Thank you.

  29. Committee chair47:01

      Thank, thank you. All right. Well then the chair will open to a vote for the motion, which is to favorably recommend HB 84 second sub higher education dangerous weapons amendments. All in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? Say nay.

  30. Committee chair47:19

      Okay. So that was one a Representative Dominguez. Sorry. Okay. All right. So then motion passes. Thank you, Representative Brooks. Thank You. And, uh, my vice chair has opted to attend the wedding of his son this afternoon. Rather than join us, I apparently he loves his son more than us. So, since now Representative Brooks is done presenting, I'll step up and present HB four 19.

  31. Rep. Walt Brooks48:05

      All right. If Representative Jack's here, if you'd come up, I would appreciate that. Here you go.

  6. Rep. Walt Brooks12:08

     You Mr. Speaker ProAm. Um, HB 84 is a bill that we had, um, addressed some time ago. It was about allowing open care, excuse me, um, permitless carry on the streets and that's still in effect. Um, last year when we did a codification of the gun bill, there was a tweak in there that changed how we do with higher ed. There's also was a, a concern about, um, concealed carry on public edge campuses. And so this bill addresses both of those. First with the, the public ed. Um, to me, this is silly, but it's the reality. You have to have a concealed carry permit to carry a, a gun onto public campuses like elementary schools. However, some people have open carried have been arrested, but then not charged because it doesn't specifically say it has to be concealed carry. Now anybody with common sense would say if you have a concealed carry permit, it means to kids conceal carry. So we fix that piece in here that you no longer can open carry just because you have a concealed carry permit on public ed campuses. What the make meat of this bill is you can conceal carry with a permit and, and conceal carry without a permit on higher ed campuses like you can anywhere else. With that, I'm open to any questions.

  1. Committee chair36:45

     house bill 84 third substitute dangerous weapon amendments. Representative Brooks, we have a Second Amendment, uh, amendment online. Do you wanna move that? Yes, please. Would you explain what that is?

  2. Rep. Walt Brooks36:55

     Yeah, so there was a, a confusion or a concern that, um, private institutions weren't covered properly. So we went and made a clarification referencing section 76 dash 1 0 1, which refers to 53 H dash 1 0 1, which refers to 53 H 1 0 2 to make sure that they're all listed out of what, um, this refers to. Exactly.

  3. Committee chair37:14

     Great. Thank you. What the amendment does, Senator. So We're the ones that I'm showing is amendment three, amendment two? It's amendment two. So Do you want to move? It's, it's third sub, but it's the amendment two that We're adopting. Third. Yeah, third sub. Right. Okay. Um, and second amendment, I, that motion, thank you. Motion is that we adopt the Second Amendment, uh, as explained by Representative Brooks. Is there a discussion to the motion saying none? I'll place at all In favor, say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed? If any, any nay. Okay. We have a, um, amended third substitute to the bill representative.

  4. Rep. Walt Brooks37:51

     Thank you. Last year, um, we, we made kind of a, a small mistake, but when we reified this section, 'cause it's had 30 years of additions and changes, they reified the whole thing. It, it tweaked the law a little bit. We used to allow open carry, concealed carry, permitless carry all in higher ed campuses, and, and it removed part of that. So we're reinstating some of it. Um, but we had a lot of concern on higher ed campuses with the higher ed board about open carry. So we removed open carry this, what it does now allows permitless carry, which we, um, had, had before and concealed carry, which we've always had. What it does do, in addition to that, is there's been a couple incidences where, um, people with a concealed carry permit have open carried on a higher ed campus and a K through 12 campus, which I thought was pretty clear, but technically the law doesn't tell them how a concealed carry weapons permit is to carry. Personally, I thought a concealed weapon, concealed carry weapons permit said to concealed carry that weapon. But apparently that's not the case. So we made it clear that there is no open carry allowed on campus. And that concludes my presentation.

  5. Committee chair39:02

     Okay. Thank you for the presentation on the bill. Let me go have a light. Senator Blouin.

  6. Sen. Nate Blouin39:10

     Thank you. Um, would you say this is more about safety or access in this bill?

  7. Rep. Walt Brooks39:16

     I would say both. Can you, have you seen any data

  8. Sen. Nate Blouin39:20

     that actually suggests that we are safer, we're seeing safer results, less violence on college campuses

  9. Rep. Walt Brooks39:25

     by having more access to firearms? Well, We, we've had these access and that's a good question on, on our campuses for decades. And I think that the, those that data points to itself, I, I don't know that that's, maybe that's a lack of data that we have.

  10. Sen. Nate Blouin39:41

      But, um, another concern at one point, I feel like I saw something about this bill, um, and it's relation to, uh, firearms in, in college dorm rooms. Can you touch on how, uh, this would play into that, if at all?

  11. Rep. Walt Brooks39:55

      Yeah, actually we do address that. So if someone is in a dorm room and doesn't want to have a, a roommate that has a weapon, it says that they can make accommodations for that person.

  12. Sen. Nate Blouin40:06

      Okay. I appreciate that. I do still have serious concerns about having, uh, guns in dorm rooms, just, uh, at all at this point. I think we, uh, have students that are in such vulnerable positions and having that sort of access and uh, uh, a a tumultuous time in life can be very dangerous. So, um, I guess how, how far does that go? Does that, uh, there there's nothing about actually preventing students from having a, a firearm in a, in a dorm room on a ongoing basis? Is there

  13. Rep. Walt Brooks40:36speaker not certain

      No. Okay.

  14. Sen. Nate Blouin40:37

      Um, well, I have a, I have a bill that would work on that. I don't think that's gonna get much light of day at this point, but, um, I feel like we need to move in a very different direction. I personally have not had constituents reaching out and supporting this bill or, uh, or basically policies that would expand access to firearms on campus.

  15. Sen. Nate Blouin40:54

      So I'm, I guess another question to the sponsor. Who, who has pushed for this bill, have you, have you discussed, uh, did it come from anyone in in higher ed leadership? Did it come from, uh, public safety? Did it come from, from, uh, advocates Second Amendment advocates? I, I guess what's the, what's the nexus here?

  16. Rep. Walt Brooks41:12

      Well, it's come from a lot of different sources, a lot of constituents, a lot of Second Amendment, um, people who are in favor, those organizations. I know I addressed it with the higher ed board and they were really in favor of me moving to the direction where we're clarifying the law about open carry.

  17. Sen. Nate Blouin41:27

      Okay. Yeah, I think there's, I think there are a couple good pieces in here about some of that clarification. Uh, to me, that still, uh, does not go anywhere near far enough to, to protect our campuses. And, uh, I have, I have not heard from students or faculty on, on the campuses that I represent or in my neck of the woods, that, uh, want to see us move further towards additional access on campus. So I guess I would, um, question why we don't leave some of these decisions up to the institutions themselves and why we feel like it's appropriate to push this down from the legislature when we could be, uh, addressing these things on a campus by campus basis, depending on, on how those campuses feel about access to firearms. So I guess I look at it as a little bit of a local control issue and, uh, the legislature pushing things down from here that don't, this is,

  18. Committee chair42:10

      This is to the bill. Senator? Yes. You got a question to the bill?

  19. Sen. Nate Blouin42:13

      Uh, no, I think that's more of a statement at this point. Yeah, The question time. Thank you. Thank you.

  20. Committee chair42:18

      Any other questions from the committee? Uh, to the bill? Okay, thank you. Then we'll open this to the public. Is there anyone in the public come to speak to this bill? Okay. I'm not seeing any. I'll bring it back to Senator Hankins, your lights on. Thank. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I always make a motion that we pass out house bill 84 third substitute with a favorable recommendation As amended.

  21. Sen. David P. Hinkins42:36

      Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I always make a motion that we pass out house bill 84 third substitute with a favorable recommendation As amended.

  22. Committee chair42:47

      As Amended. Thank you. Um, Senator, that's in order. Uh, the motion is that we pass out house bill 84 third substitute as amended, uh, favorable recommendation to the full body of the Senate discussion to the motion saying none. I'll come back to you for summation. Thank you for the conversation this morning. Okay. Thank you, Senator. I'll waive waive. I'll place the motion. All in favor, please say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye.

  1. Rep. Walt Brooks1:17:37

     Thank you. Thank you Mr. President. This bill addresses carrying of dangerous weapons at Institution of Higher Education. It would allow an individual 21 years or older to carry a dangerous weapon at an institution of higher education without a concealed carry permit. This bill addresses both private and public institutions prohibits open carry. I I repeat it prohibits open carry on higher ed campuses unless responding to an active threat elementary and secondary school. Open carry is not allowed unless going, responding to an active threat. This promotes gun safety and responsibility on campus eliminates off campus on campus confusion by clarifying existing law relating to firearms or public ed campuses that receive support from higher education leadership and educators that passed unanimously on the house floor. With that, I'm open to questions,
