Utah Admin. Code R131-3-4 - Magnetometers

(1) By this rule, the Board authorizes the use of magnetometers by Capitol Hill security personnel. Magnetometers may be used for security levels two, three and four.

(2) Capitol Hill security personnel may use magnetometers in Capitol Hill Facilities and on Capitol Hill Grounds after Capitol Hill security personnel determine that there is a justification for increasing security precautions to level two, three or four. Depending on where the threat is focused, different Capitol Hill Facilities may be designated to be at different security levels. When practicable, the decision to increase security precautions at any Capitol Hill Facility shall be made in consultation with the

Executive Director. Otherwise, the person making the determination to change from one security level to another, shall notify the Executive Director as soon as practicable after the decision is made.

(3) The Executive Director shall notify the members of the Board when the security level is changed. Any member of the Board may request a meeting of the full Board to examine further the decision to move to higher security levels. The Board may lower or raise the security level by a majority vote of the members present at the meeting. Capitol Hill security personnel may also reduce the security level depending on the security information received.

(4) The Board and Capitol Hill security personnel, while using magnetometers in Capitol Hill Facilities shall not impact or infringe upon the rights of persons to keep and bear arms in accordance with Utah Constitution Article I, Section 6, Title 53, Chapter 5, Part 7 and Title 76, Chapter 10, Part 5. A person carrying a concealed firearm may be reasonably questioned by Capitol Hill security personnel as to facts relevant to the lawfulness of the person's carrying of a concealed firearm before being allowed to enter Capitol Hill Facilities with a concealed firearm.
