Today, on its 3rd reading, the Utah Senate passed SB11, the Firearms Freedom Act, by a vote of 19-10. The bill states:
A personal firearm, a firearm action or receiver, a firearm accessory, or ammunition that is manufactured commercially or privately in the state to be used or sold within the state is not subject to federal law or federal regulation, including registration, under the authority of congress to regulate interstate commerce.
The Utah Senate is the first legislative body to pass a Firearms Freedom Act in the 2010 legislative session. In 2009, both Tennessee and Montana passed the Act into state law.
