Maddy summaryThis bill clarifies that hunters with a valid handgun permit (under N.J.S.2C:58-4) or who are authorized to carry handguns generally (under N.J.S.2C:39-6) may carry those handguns while hunting. It explicitly permits carrying but prohibits using handguns to hunt any game, maintaining existing restrictions on firearm types for hunting. The bill amends New Jersey's hunting statutes (R.S.23:4-44, -12, and -13) to add this exception, aligning with recent changes to handgun permit laws following the *New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen* Supreme Court decision. It directly affects licensed hunters who carry handguns for personal protection during hunting activities.
Maddy summaryThis bill strengthens safety rules for hotels and multi-unit buildings in New Jersey when hazardous conditions are identified. It requires owners to provide written notice to occupants before restricting occupancy and sets clear limits on how many people can stay during repairs or hazards. The law directly affects hotel owners (buildings with 10+ units or 25+ sleeping spaces) and multiple dwelling owners (buildings with 3+ independently occupied units). Key provisions include standardized notice procedures and occupancy restrictions to protect residents until hazards are resolved, as defined under New Jersey's housing code.
