Utah’s 2024 legislative session adjourned sine die earlier this month. Prior to adjournment, the legislature sent House Bill 406, important legislation protecting sportsmen’s credit card purchase privacy rights, to the Governor.
Yesterday, March 14th, Governor Spencer Cox signed HB 406 into law.
HB 406 prohibits a financial entity from using a firearms merchant category code to distinguish a firearms retailer from other retailers. It also prohibits a financial entity from acting against a customer or merchant intended to suppress or track lawful commerce involving firearms.
Even though the 2024 legislative session is over, the Sportsmen’s Alliance will continue to monitor activities in the Beehive State. You never know when issues that sportsmen need to be aware of may arise.
