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 and three.

(2) Capitol Hill security personnel may use magnetometers in facilities and on the grounds under the jurisdiction of the board after the commander of Capitol Hill security, or that person"s superior, determines that there is a justification for increasing security precautions to level two, or level three. 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 the security level by a majority vote of the members present forming a quorum of the Board. The Commander may also reduce the security level depending on the security information received.

(4) The board and Capitol Hill security personnel, while using magnetometers in facilities under the authority of the board, shall not impact or infringe upon the rights of persons to keep and bear arms in accordance with Utah Constitution Article I, Section 6, and Title 76, Chapter 10, Part 5. A person carrying a concealed weapon by permit may be asked to show a valid, current concealed weapons permit before being allowed to enter the facility.
