Introduced Text

New Jersey S612 prioritizes firearms purchaser identification card and handgun permit applications for those with active domestic violence.

New Jersey S612 amends existing law to prioritize the background investigation of applicants for firearms purchaser identification cards and handgun permits if they have an active restraining order against a domestic violence offender. This bill aims to expedite the process for victims of domestic violence to obtain necessary permits and identification cards, thereby enhancing their ability to protect themselves. The application process remains unchanged except for this prioritization, which is intended to ensure that these applicants are processed more swiftly than others.
