Bill Summary
AN ACT amending section 8-249, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to juvenile court.
AI Summary
This bill modifies Arizona law regarding the restoration of firearm rights for individuals who were previously adjudicated delinquent (found to have committed a serious offense as a juvenile). The bill changes the waiting period for restoring firearm rights in two key ways: for serious offenses like dangerous crimes, burglary, or arson, the waiting period is reduced from thirty to twenty-five years of age, and for other felony offenses, the previously fixed two-year waiting period is replaced with more flexible conditions. Now, individuals can file to restore their firearm rights after completing court-ordered conditions, finishing their probation term, or being discharged from the department of juvenile corrections. The bill maintains the existing process where individuals can apply to the superior court or juvenile court judge in the county where they were originally adjudicated, with the clerk of the superior court processing the application without charging a filing fee and serving a copy of the application on the county attorney.
