Bill Summary

An Act amending sections 42-5061 and 42-5159, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to transaction privilege and use tax.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona's tax code to provide sales tax and use tax exemptions for safe firearm storage devices. Specifically, the bill defines a "safe firearm storage device" as a device designed and marketed primarily to deny unauthorized access to or render a firearm or ammunition inoperable, and which is secured by a combination lock, key lock, or biometric lock. The exemption does not apply to devices that are incorporated into a firearm's design or ammunition, or devices subject to a mandatory recall by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The bill adds this exemption to both the transaction privilege tax (sales tax) and use tax sections of Arizona's tax code, ensuring that these devices will be exempt from sales and use taxes when purchased in Arizona. The changes will apply to taxable periods beginning on or after the first day of the month following the bill's general effective date.
