The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current Arizona statutes regarding transaction privilege and use tax by exempting the gross proceeds of sales or gross income derived from sales of safe firearm storage devices from the retail classification of these taxes. Specifically, it would define "safe firearm storage devices" as those designed to prevent unauthorized access to firearms and secured by a combination lock, key lock, or biometric lock. Additionally, the bill would clarify that devices incorporated into the design of firearms or ammunition, or those subject to a mandatory recall, would not qualify for this exemption.

Furthermore, the bill would establish that the exemption applies to taxable periods beginning on or after the first day of the month following the general effective date of the act. This change aims to encourage the sale of secure firearm storage solutions while aligning state law with recent federal regulations regarding firearm safety.
