Council conducts first reading to remove fee for firearm background checks
Summary
Mayor Wallace read Ordinance 2026-01 — proposing repeal of a fee charged for criminal background checks before firearm transfers — to align the town code with A.R.S. 13-3108(A); no adoption vote occurred at the meeting.
Mayor Johann Wallace performed the first reading of Ordinance 2026-01 on Jan. 22. The ordinance would amend Town Code Title 2, Chapter 2.55, to repeal a fee chargeable for criminal background checks before transfer of a firearm; the change is described in the agenda as required to align with state law, A.R.S. 13-3108(A).
The minutes show this was the ordinance’s first reading and do not record a final vote or adoption during the meeting. Further action, public notice, or a second reading would be required under the town’s legislative process before the fee repeal becomes effective.
