Council reads ordinance amending minors’ firearms exceptions to match state law
Summary
On first reading, Ordinance 2026-02 would update Town Code exceptions under which minors may lawfully possess firearms to align with A.R.S. 13-3108(G)(2)(d); no final vote was recorded Jan. 22.
Mayor Johann R. Wallace conducted the first reading of Ordinance 2026-02 at the Jan. 22 Council meeting. The ordinance would amend Town Code Title 9 (Public Peace, Morals and Welfare), Chapter 9.20, to revise exceptions allowing minors to lawfully possess firearms, aligning local code with A.R.S. 13-3108(G)(2)(d).
The minutes record the first reading but do not show a final vote or extended debate. As with other first readings the item requires subsequent Council action to adopt the ordinance into town code. The Town Attorney presented the change as required to align local code with state statute.
Council did not record public comment specific to this ordinance during the Jan. 22 meeting. Next steps are additional readings and possible amendment before adoption.
