Provides for notification to new residents regarding banned weapons.
This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to create and maintain multilingual (in the five most common languages) online and printed materials listing banned weapons, accessories, modifications, and related items. It mandates that real estate licensees include the Attorney General's website link in all property contracts and leases, the Motor Vehicle Commission must link to these materials on its website for applicants, and colleges must provide the link to enrolled students. The materials would detail specific prohibited items like modified barrels, magazines, scopes, and certain ammunition. This applies directly to new residents, drivers, and students through these mandatory informational channels. The bill focuses on notification, not changing existing weapon laws.
