Arizona: More Pro-Gun Bills Advance from Committee!

Wednesday, March 26, 2025

Earlier today, the House Judiciary Committee voted to advance two more pro-gun bills that will further protect Second Amendment rights in Arizona. Thank you to House Judiciary Chair Representative Nguyen and all committee members that voted to protect the rights of Arizona’s law-abiding gun owners!

Senate Bill 1143 aims to protect the privacy of firearm purchasers by prohibiting the use of specific merchant category codes (MCCs) that identify transactions at firearm retailers. The bill defines key terms, including "firearm retailer," "merchant category code," and "payment card," to establish clear guidelines. If passed, HB 1143 will prevent payment card networks and related entities from assigning or requiring MCCs that distinguish firearm retailers from other merchants. Violations can result in civil penalties and injunctions, enforceable by the Attorney General or county attorneys.

Senate Bill 1705 strengthens Arizona’s firearm preemption laws by allowing a court to impose a $5,000 civil penalty on government officials who knowingly violate state firearm regulations. Additionally, it prohibits the use of public funding to defend or reimburse those who breach this law. Arizona’s firearm preemption laws ensure uniformity across the state, eliminating the risk of conflicting local ordinances that could undermine Second Amendment rights.

Please stay tuned to your email inbox and www.nraila.org for further updates on these bills.
