Arizona SB1600 criminalizes the unlawful securing of firearms by family members, making it a felony if a minor causes injury or death.

Arizona SB1600 amends the state's criminal code to address the unlawful securing of firearms by family members. It makes it a crime for a family member to fail to take reasonable steps to prevent a minor from accessing a readily dischargeable firearm, leading to the minor's injury or death. The offense is classified as a class 6 felony, escalating to a class 4 felony if the minor causes death or serious injury to themselves or another person. The bill defines "family member" broadly, including relatives, dating partners, legal guardians, and those who have lived in the same household.
