Council holds first reading to repeal fee for criminal background checks before firearm transfers
Summary
Ordinance 2026-01 received its first reading on Jan. 22; the measure would amend Town Code to repeal a fee charged for criminal background checks before firearm transfers to align with A.R.S. 13-3108(A).
Mayor Johann R. Wallace conducted the first reading of Ordinance 2026-01 on Jan. 22, proposing to amend Town Code Title 2 (Administration and Personnel), Chapter 2.55 (Police Department), Section 2.55.070 to repeal a fee charged for criminal background checks before transfer of a firearm.
Town Attorney Thomas Benavidez stated the code change is required to align the town ordinance with state law (A.R.S. 13-3108(A)). This was a first reading before the council; the minutes record the reading but do not show a vote or final action. The town will need a future ordinance adoption vote to make the repeal effective.
