Bill Summary
AN ACT amending section 8-249, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to juvenile court.
AI Summary
This bill amends Arizona law regarding the restoration of firearm rights for individuals who were adjudicated delinquent, meaning they were found to have committed a crime as a juvenile. Specifically, it changes the age at which someone adjudicated for a dangerous or serious offense, or for burglary or arson, can apply to have their firearm rights restored from thirty to twenty-five years old. For other felony offenses, instead of waiting two years after discharge, individuals can now apply for restoration once they have completed any court-ordered conditions, finished their probation term, or been discharged from the department of juvenile corrections. The process for applying remains the same, with the clerk of the superior court handling the application and serving a copy to the county attorney without charging a filing fee.
