Lawmakers will meet Wednesday in special session, primarily so they can accept more than $1.5 billion in federal coronavirus relief money.
But a gun rights issue may sneak onto the agenda.
Legislative sources tell The Tribune that there is significant lobbying to persuade Gov. Spencer Cox to include a bill declaring Utah a “Second Amendment sanctuary” on the agenda for next week.
The idea would allow the state to ignore new federal laws or regulations on firearms that lawmakers believe violate the Second Amendment, which affords people the right to bear arms. It could extend to judicial rulings or executive actions by the White House.

A similar law in Texas declares the state a âSecond Amendment sanctuary,â blocking state agencies and local governments from enforcing new federal gun rules.
Rep. Cory Maloy, R-Lehi, tried to pass a law similar to the Texas bill during the 2021 Utah Legislature. He was unsuccessful, but lawmakers will study the issue during summer legislative meetings this year, with an eye on the 2022 lesgislative session that starts in January.

SALT LAKE CITY — Guns once again were a contentious issue on Capitol Hill during the Legislature’s 45-day session that ended March 5, and after several tries through the years, lawmakers succeeded in ending the permit requirement for carrying a concealed weapon in Utah.
HB60 lets any Utah resident who is 21 years or older and can legally possess a firearm to carry their weapon concealed without needing a permit. It received final legislative approval in early February, and Gov. Spencer Cox signed the bill Feb. 15.
During debate on the issue, bill sponsor Rep. Walt Brooks, R-St. George, was skeptical there could be reconciliation between the two sides.
