Bill > SB1600

This bill creates a new law in Arizona making it unlawful for a person to allow a minor to access a readily dischargeable firearm, which is defined as a loaded firearm, due to criminal negligence, meaning they failed to take reasonable steps to prevent access, such as using a locked container or trigger lock, or left it in a place the minor could easily find. However, there are several affirmative defenses, including if the minor used the firearm under adult supervision for lawful purposes like hunting or defense, or if the minor obtained it by trespassing. In cases where the minor is a family member and the firearm's discharge results in the minor's death or serious injury, the person responsible cannot be arrested for seven days. Violations are classified as a felony, with a more serious charge if the discharge causes death or serious injury to anyone. A minor is defined as someone under seventeen years old, and "family member" is broadly defined to include relatives, dating partners, legal guardians, and those who have lived with the minor.
