New Jersey A511 prioritizes background checks for handgun purchase permits for applicants with active domestic violence restraining orders.

New Jersey A511 amends the state's firearms regulations to prioritize the background checks of applicants for firearms purchaser identification cards and handgun purchase permits if they have an active restraining order against a domestic violence offender under the "Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991." This means that if an applicant has such a restraining order in effect, their investigation will take precedence over other applicants.
