New Jersey S623 amends firearm transportation laws to allow deviations from the course of travel for common, brief, and lawful purposes.
New Jersey S623 modifies the criteria for when individuals lawfully transporting firearms can deviate from their course of travel. It replaces the "reasonably necessary" standard with a less stringent reasonableness standard. This allows for deviations such as collecting and discharging passengers, obtaining supplies, medication, food, or other provisions, and using restrooms. The bill also clarifies that deviations can occur to contend with a bona fide emergency or during an evacuation plan due to a declared emergency or local disaster.
