Requires AG to report data regarding shootings that did not result in bodily injury.
This bill requires New Jersey county prosecutors to collect and report specific data about firearm-related incidents that did not cause bodily injury. Prosecutors must gather details like incident location, date, charges, and whether the firearm was used lawfully, then submit this information quarterly to the Attorney General for three years. After the reporting period ends, the Attorney General must compile and publish a comprehensive report for the Governor and Legislature online. The bill does not change existing laws but creates a new data collection system focused on non-injury firearm incidents.
