Requires firearm retailers to provide disclosure of customer's responsibility to report stolen or lost firearms; advises customers it is unlawful to purchase firearms with intent to sell to disqualified persons.
This bill (S 3468) requires New Jersey firearm retailers to provide customers with a written disclosure at the point of sale. The disclosure informs customers they must report lost or stolen firearms within 36 hours to local law enforcement or the State Police, and warns that buying a firearm with intent to resell to someone without a valid license is illegal. Retailers must post this disclosure visibly at all counters and keep signed copies for 15 years. Violations carry civil penalties of up to $500 for a first offense and $1,000 for repeat offenses, with collected fines funding gun violence prevention efforts. The bill directly affects firearm retailers and their customers, focusing on enhancing accountability for lost/stolen firearms and preventing prohibited resales.
