This bill proposes amendments to sections 42-5061 and 42-5159 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically introducing a definition for "safe firearm storage devices." The new language clarifies that these devices are designed to prevent unauthorized access to firearms or ammunition and must be secured by a combination lock, key lock, or biometric lock. Additionally, the bill specifies exclusions for devices that are integrated into firearms or ammunition and those that have been subject to a mandatory recall by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The bill does not alter any existing provisions in the current law, as indicated by the
... tags, but rather adds new definitions and criteria under the
... tags. The changes will take effect for taxable periods starting on the first day of the month following the general effective date of the act.
