Requires Attorney General to compile and publicly report certain statistics pertaining to permits to carry for handguns and firearm purchaser identification cards.
This bill requires New Jersey law enforcement agencies to submit monthly data on firearm permit applications - including applicants' race, ethnicity, gender identity, and denial reasons - to the Attorney General. The Attorney General must compile this data and publish monthly reports online, starting retroactively from June 23, 2022. These reports cover permits to carry handguns, permits to purchase handguns, and firearm purchaser ID cards. The bill directly affects all applicants for these firearm permits by mandating the public tracking of demographic and outcome data.
