Gives priority to applicants for firearms purchaser identification card and permits to purchase handguns when domestic violence restraining order is in effect.

This bill amends New Jersey law to give priority processing to applicants seeking a firearms purchaser identification card or handgun permit when they are subject to an active domestic violence restraining order (as defined under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act). It directly affects victims of domestic violence who are applying for firearm permits, ensuring their applications are handled more quickly. The key mechanism adds a priority status to these applicants during the permit issuance process, without changing the existing prohibition on issuing permits to individuals subject to restraining orders. The change streamlines access for eligible victims while maintaining the existing restriction on firearm access for those with restraining orders against them.
