The bill was sponsored by Rep. Stephen Handy, R-Layton, after listening to concerns from his constituents about domestic violence between intimate partners.

KAYSVILLE Eight months after a Kaysville police officer was placed on administrative leave over comments attributed to his wife, investigators have determined that his family was the victim of catfishing.
On May 28, someone posing as the wife of Kaysville police officer Michael Criddle made racist comments on a public Facebook page regarding the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis by police.
Even though Criddle himself was not accused of racism or making racist comments, and Kaysville police acknowledged that both Criddle and his wife “strongly denied” the allegations and even suggested a fake social media profile may have been created, Criddle was placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.

nd, the Utah House Judiciary Committee passed House Bill 60 on an 8 – 3 vote.
House Bill 60, sponsored by Representative Walt Brooks (R-75), allows a law-abiding adult to carry a concealed firearm in the State of Utah, without first needing to obtain government permission. This ensures that citizens have their right to self-defense without government red tape or delays. Additionally, this legislation maintains the existing Concealed Firearm Permit (CFP) system, so citizens who still wish to obtain a permit may do so.
HB 60 will next go to the House floor for a vote. At this time, a vote has not been scheduled; however, it’s important that you contact your representative and encourage their support of this important legislation!
