Clarifies that law enforcement agencies may hold gun buyback programs and permits voluntary surrender of ammunition.

This bill amends New Jersey law to clarify that law enforcement agencies may hold gun buyback programs and permits voluntary surrender of ammunition. It allows individuals to anonymously and voluntarily surrender firearms, ammunition, or weapons to the Office of Attorney General or a county prosecutor’s office. Gun buyback programs that accept firearms must also accept ammunition and may grant an award for surrendered items. The bill ensures that voluntary surrender of ammunition is treated similarly to firearms under current law.
