This bill proposes to amend title 13, chapter 31 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding section 13-3123, which establishes new regulations regarding the sale or transfer of firearms. Under the new law, a person may not sell or transfer a firearm unless they are a licensed firearms dealer, or the transaction is facilitated by a licensed dealer if neither party is licensed. The bill outlines specific procedures for completing a transfer through a licensed dealer, including requirements for criminal background checks and the potential for a fee to cover administrative costs.

Additionally, the bill specifies several exemptions to these regulations, including transfers involving law enforcement agencies, military personnel, gunsmiths, and certain familial transfers. It also allows for temporary transfers in emergency situations and defines what constitutes an antique firearm. Violating these provisions would result in a class 5 felony. Overall, the bill aims to enhance firearm transaction oversight while providing clear guidelines and exceptions.
