firearms; destruction by state
SB 1413 amends Arizona law to clarify state authority over firearms regulations and unclaimed property handling. It updates Section 12-945 to specify that unclaimed firearms may be sold to licensed businesses (not just destroyed) and allows law enforcement to trade firearms for equipment. Crucially, it strengthens Section 13-3108 to preempt local ordinances, prohibiting cities from requiring firearm registration, keeping ownership records, or enacting stricter gun rules than state law. The bill directly affects Arizona cities and counties by limiting their ability to regulate firearms locally, while allowing limited exceptions for minor restrictions and commercial shooting ranges.
