On Jan. 22 Mayor Johann R. Wallace conducted first readings of three ordinances intended to align Huachuca City code with Arizona law (A.R.S. 13-3108). Ordinance 2026-01 would repeal a fee for criminal background checks before firearm transfers; Ordinance 2026-02 would amend exceptions allowing minors to possess firearms under specified circumstances; and Ordinance 2026-03 would remove the local prohibition on firearms-related home-based businesses in zoning code.

All three measures were read for the first time; council did not vote to adopt them at this meeting. Town Attorney Thomas Benavidez presented the code changes as required to conform local ordinances to state statute. The council signaled intent to proceed with the ordinance process, with later hearings and formal adoption to follow.
