If you read the LAW, Utah requirements do meet Nevada requirements. The problem is that Nevada law gives excessive latitude to the Sheriffs and Police Chiefs Association to interpret the law and formulate the rules.

My bet is that the Sheriffs and Police Chiefs decided that they were losing too much money to out of state permits. It is impossible to know for sure because their meetings are not subject to the open meetings laws because the Sheriffs and Police Chiefs Association is not a government agency.

It was said that Utah law does not require shooting quals; hence "not substantially similar" to Nevada law in the opinion of the NSCA.
