A 1369 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Prohibits use of firearms and firearms-related items as raffle prizes.

This bill (A 1369) prohibits offering any firearm or firearm-related item as a prize in raffles across New Jersey. It directly affects raffle organizers, businesses, and event hosts who might otherwise include firearms or related accessories (like holsters, ammunition, or modification tools) as prizes. The law defines "firearm" broadly under existing state law (N.J.S.2C:39-1), covering handguns, rifles, shotguns, and air guns, while "firearm-related items" include anything used for firing, storing, or maintaining firearms. The prohibition takes immediate effect, banning such prizes in all raffles statewide without exceptions.
