Requires volunteer, nonvolunteer, and nonprofit ambulances be equipped with lock box to store firearm.

This bill requires ambulance vehicles operated by volunteer, nonvolunteer, and nonprofit organizations to carry a securely locked box for storing firearms. The law mandates that any firearm be placed in this locked container whenever a person possessing a gun is being transported in the ambulance. The New Jersey Commissioner of Health will have the authority to create specific rules to implement these storage requirements. This policy applies to all first aid, rescue, and emergency squad ambulances that provide services and may bill for or receive reimbursement for those services.
