SUMMARY

Representative Joel Briscoe voted in favor of bills to improve access to gun safety resources, improve background check databases, update voluntary commitment processes, and improve data collection on weapons-related domestic violence incidents.

Rep. Briscoe voted against bills to allow intoxicated persons to carry firearms, strengthen Utah’s “Stand Your Ground” laws, waive concealed carry permit requirements for domestic violence victims, and to assert that Utah does not need any additional gun violence laws.

Rep. Briscoe also sponsored a bill to strengthen Utah laws against concealed carry near school buildings.
