Establishes a registry allowing individuals to voluntarily prohibit firearm sales to them.

The bill establishes an Internet-based "Do Not Sell" registry for New Jersey residents to voluntarily prohibit the sale of firearms to them. Individuals can request inclusion in the registry, and their information will be included in background checks to prevent firearm sales. The superintendent must ensure the registry verifies identities, prevents unauthorized disclosures, and informs registrants of the implications. The Attorney General must disseminate educational information about the registry to psychiatric facilities.
