Huachuca City council adopts ordinance repealing firearm background-check fee
Summary
The Council adopted Ordinance 2026-01 to repeal a town fee for criminal background checks before firearm transfers, aligning local code with state law A.R.S. 13-3108(A); the measure was moved by Mayor Johann Wallace and seconded by Christy Hirshberg.
Huachuca City’s Town Council on Feb. 12 adopted Ordinance 2026-01 to remove a fee charged by the town for criminal background checks required before the transfer of a firearm. Town officials said the code change is required to conform with state law, cited in the agenda as A.R.S. 13-3108(A).
The ordinance was taken up at second reading and approved after a motion by Johann Wallace and a second from Christy Hirshberg. The council record lists the action as “Ordinance 2026-01 Action: Adopt.” The change revises Town Code Title 2, Chapter 2.55, Section 2.55.070 to repeal the fee previously chargeable for such background checks.
The adoption aligns local code language with the statute referenced in the agenda materials. The meeting minutes do not record a roll-call vote tally for the ordinance beyond the motion and second; the agenda and minutes state the item was adopted.
