First reading held on ordinance updating exceptions for minors possessing firearms
Summary
Mayor Wallace performed the first reading of Ordinance 2026-02 to amend circumstances under which minors may lawfully possess firearms to align with A.R.S. 13-3108(G)(2)(d); no final action was taken at first reading.
During the meeting Mayor Johann R. Wallace read Ordinance 2026-02, which would amend Town Code Title 9 to modify the exceptions permitting minors to lawfully possess firearms. The minutes state the change is to align local code with A.R.S. 13-3108(G)(2)(d). The item was presented as a first reading and no adoption or final vote occurred at the Jan. 22 meeting.
Town Attorney Thomas Benavidez handled the presentation and framed the reading as a code change required by state law; council discussion was not recorded beyond the procedural first reading. The ordinance will require follow-up readings and administrative steps before it becomes effective.
