voluntary prohibited possessor; definition

HB 2618 creates a voluntary program allowing any Arizona resident to temporarily restrict their own firearm access. Individuals can submit a request form via law enforcement or their healthcare provider to be added to a court-maintained "voluntary prohibited possessor list." Once listed, they are prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms for 180 days, after which they are automatically removed unless they request an extension. This mechanism does not change existing prohibited possessor categories (like felons or domestic violence offenders) but provides a new administrative option for individuals seeking temporary firearm restrictions.
