This bill died with 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

Vetoed by Governor Katie Hobbs (Democratic) on June 19, 2026.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

In plain language

The bill repeals the requirement for notice regarding concealed weapons.

This legislation removes the need for individuals to provide notice when carrying concealed weapons. The repeal affects how concealed carry laws are communicated and understood.

Plain-language change summary

The recent changes to Senate Bill 1012 include the removal of provisions regarding concealed carry of handguns on the premises of on-sale retailers. Specifically, the requirement for licensees to post a notice indicating whether firearms are allowed has been eliminated. This matters because it could lead to more uncertainty for both customers and retailers about the rules surrounding firearms in places that sell alcohol, potentially impacting safety and business operations.
