I have not read the bill but I like the Idea of an official directly elected by the people to have a handhold over the other law enforcement that is hired by corporations (cities). I believe there is no State law required for this. This standard for the County sheriff goes back a long time, but a lot of Sheriffs should be reminded of this. They also can trump the fed agencies legally but many are reluctant to make waves, it is not easy protecting the citizen from bureaucrats especially if you can get equipment (armored vehicles and surplus toys and grants $$$) for cheap as long as you are willing to play their game.

That was my thinking, too. Now, if we can just encourage sheriffs in the state to stand up (against wayward federal and local law-enforcement agencies) for their citizens.
The most obvious effect for RKBA would be official designation of who the "CLEO" is for purposes of federal forms dealing with Class 3 weapons that require a CLEO signature for transfer. Someone with more experience in this area than I could elaborate.
This bill was passed by the Utah Legislature and has been prepared for the governor's signature or veto.
