Removes requirement that certain special law enforcement officers turn in firearm at end of shift.
S 803 removes the requirement for Class Two and Class Three special law enforcement officers in New Jersey to turn in their firearms at the end of each work shift. This change applies to officers employed by municipalities with over 300,000 residents (per the 1980 census) or county sheriffs, under specific training and employment conditions. Previously, these officers had to return firearms to the station house after shifts, but the bill eliminates this mandate. The legislation does not alter other firearm rules, such as off-duty carry with a permit or on-duty firearm use requirements.
