Requires ambulances be equipped with lock box to store firearm.

This bill requires all basic life support ambulances and volunteer ambulance squad vehicles in New Jersey to be equipped with a securely locked box for storing firearms. It applies directly to ambulance services transporting individuals who possess firearms, mandating that firearms be stored in the locked container during transport. The key provision specifies that the locked storage must be used whenever a person carrying a firearm is being transported in these vehicles. The law takes effect four months after enactment, with the state health commissioner authorized to create implementing rules. This is a direct safety measure for ambulance personnel and passengers during transport.
