Requires State Police to inform local law enforcement if certain prohibited persons attempt to purchase firearm or ammunition.
This bill requires New Jersey's State Police to notify local law enforcement when a person prohibited from purchasing firearms attempts to buy one. Specifically, if a National Instant Criminal Background Check reveals someone has been convicted of certain serious crimes (such as aggravated assault, domestic violence, robbery, or gun-related offenses) or has had firearms seized due to a domestic violence restraining order or extreme risk protection order, the State Police must inform the local law enforcement agency in the person's municipality. The notification would be sent to the chief law enforcement officer of the municipality, or the appropriate law enforcement officer if the municipality lacks its own agency. This change enhances communication between State Police and local law enforcement regarding prohibited firearm purchasers without altering the background check process itself.
