New Jersey S3230 amends the state's criminal justice laws to require Pretrial Services to recommend pretrial detention for defendants charged with specific firearms offenses. This includes offenses under the Graves Act, which imposes mandatory terms of imprisonment for certain firearm crimes. The bill also extends the recommendation of no release to include offenses involving untraceable or undetectable firearms, commonly referred to as "ghost guns." These offenses include manufacturing, possessing, or transferring firearms without serial numbers.
