First reading held for ordinance repealing firearm transfer background-check fee
Summary
The council conducted the first reading of Ordinance 2026-01, which would repeal a town fee for criminal background checks before firearm transfers to align with A.R.S. 13-3108(A); the mayor performed the reading and no final action was taken.
The council heard the first reading of Ordinance 2026-01 intended to amend Title 2 of the town code to repeal a fee charged for criminal background checks before the transfer of a firearm in order to align local code with state law, A.R.S. 13-3108(A).
Town Attorney Thomas Benavidez presented the ordinance language and Mayor Johann Wallace conducted the first reading. The minutes record the reading but do not show a vote or further council action on the ordinance at this meeting.
Because this was a first reading, the council did not adopt the ordinance; additional readings or formal action would be required for enactment.
