This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 13-3123, which establishes regulations for the sale or transfer of firearms. Under the new law, individuals may not sell or transfer a firearm unless they are licensed dealers or the transaction is facilitated by a licensed dealer. If neither party is a licensed dealer, they must complete the transfer through one, which includes a mandatory criminal background check for the transferee, unless they possess an exemption permit. The bill also outlines the responsibilities of the licensed dealer, including compliance with federal and state laws and the ability to charge a fee for facilitating the transfer.

Additionally, the bill specifies several exemptions to these requirements, including transfers involving law enforcement, military personnel, gunsmiths, and certain familial or temporary transfers. It also defines "immediate family members" for the purpose of gift transfers and clarifies the conditions under which temporary transfers are permissible. Violating these provisions would result in a class 5 felony. Overall, the bill aims to enhance firearm transaction regulations while maintaining certain exceptions for specific circumstances.
