Increases statute of limitations for prosecution of theft of firearm.

This bill would extend the statute of limitations for prosecuting theft of a firearm in New Jersey from five years to ten years. It applies to all theft of firearm offenses committed on or after the bill's effective date, meaning prosecutors would have up to a decade to file charges instead of the current five-year window. Currently, theft of a firearm is classified as a third-degree crime with a five-year prosecution limit under New Jersey law. Offenses committed before the bill takes effect would remain subject to the existing five-year statute.
