The proposed bill amends Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section that establishes a mandatory waiting period of three days for retailers to deliver firearms after a purchase is made. This waiting period excludes weekends and legal holidays and applies to all retailers, defined as licensed importers, manufacturers, or dealers engaged in firearm sales. The bill specifies that law enforcement authorities and licensed private security personnel are exempt from this waiting period when requiring firearms for their employment.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that violating this mandatory waiting period constitutes a class 6 felony. The definitions of "mandatory waiting period," "purchase," and "retailer" are also included to clarify the terms used in the legislation. This new law introduces a significant change to current regulations by imposing a waiting period that does not currently exist, aiming to enhance public safety regarding firearm transactions.
