Bill > HB2512

This bill expands legal restrictions on firearm possession for individuals convicted of certain domestic violence offenses. Specifically, it adds new provisions to Arizona law that require individuals who are convicted of a domestic violence offense to transfer their firearms to law enforcement or a licensed firearms dealer within 24 hours of sentencing. The bill introduces detailed procedures for firearm transfer, including requirements for proof of transfer, compliance hearings, and potential search warrants for non-compliance. For individuals subject to an order of protection, the bill mandates similar firearm transfer requirements, with provisions for temporary storage and potential return of firearms after the order expires. The law also expands the definition of "prohibited possessor" to include individuals convicted of domestic violence offenses involving specific types of violence or relationships. The bill includes protections for individuals during firearm transfer, such as allowing transportation of an unloaded firearm directly to a law enforcement agency or licensed dealer. Named "Jordin's Law," the legislation aims to reduce the risk of firearm-related domestic violence by removing firearms from individuals with a history of domestic violence convictions.
