HB 2676 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

juvenile restoration; rights; firearms; civil

HB 2676 allows individuals adjudicated delinquent as juveniles in Arizona to petition a court for restored firearm rights after meeting specific conditions. It directly affects people who were minors when convicted of certain offenses but not adults. The bill establishes two waiting periods: 25 years for those convicted of serious offenses like burglary or arson, or a two-year wait for other felonies after completing probation or court-ordered conditions. The process requires a court application with no filing fee, served to the county attorney, and is handled by juvenile court judges. This changes the legal pathway for juvenile offenders to regain firearm rights under defined circumstances.

MINOR

The bill was reorganized from a standard introduced format to a formal House Engrossed version, updating the title and statutory language. The most significant substantive change is the modification of age eligibility for firearm rights restoration; the text was altered to require a person to attain 'thirty twenty-five years of age' (likely a drafting error intended to be 25) before filing for restoration if their adjudication involved specific serious offenses like dangerous offenses or arson.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on juvenile court procedures for restoring firearm rights, but the specific age threshold for eligibility was altered in the text.

ELIGIBILITY

The age requirement for filing a firearm restoration application was changed from 'thirty years of age' to 'thirty twenty-five years of age' for individuals adjudicated for dangerous offenses, serious offenses, burglary, or arson.

TECHNICAL

The bill format was updated from an 'Introduced Version' to a 'House Engrossed Version,' reflecting final approval and formatting changes by the legislature.

The title and header information were updated to reflect the official House Engrossed status and session details.
