S 1864 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes priority for certain firearm-related background checks when applicant has obtained domestic violence restraining order.

This New Jersey bill (S 1864) requires that background checks for firearm purchases be processed with higher priority when the applicant has a domestic violence restraining order (DVRO) against them. It directly affects individuals seeking to purchase firearms who have obtained a DVRO, ensuring their background check is reviewed before other applications. The key mechanism amends existing law to establish this priority status for background checks involving DVROs, streamlining the process to prevent firearm access by those subject to such orders. The bill does not change eligibility criteria but focuses on the timing and processing sequence of background checks for this specific group.
