  • Expands Arizona's definition of "prohibited possessor" to include persons convicted of specified domestic violence offenses or any offense involving physical force or threatened use of a deadly weapon against family/household members, as well as persons subject to an order of protection.

  • Requires courts at sentencing to inform domestic violence offenders they are prohibited from owning or possessing firearms and to order transfer of all firearms to law enforcement or a federally licensed firearms dealer within 24 hours.

  • Mandates that within 48 hours of receiving a transfer order, the prohibited person must either attest they own no firearms or file proof of transfer with the court confirming all firearms were surrendered.

  • Authorizes courts to issue search warrants if there is probable cause to believe a person failed to transfer a firearm as ordered, allowing seizure of any firearms found.

  • Provides immunity from prosecution for transporting firearms to comply with a transfer order if the person has the written order, the firearm is unloaded, and they are traveling directly to law enforcement or a licensed dealer.
