A 1389 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires seizure of ammunition and certain firearm components in response to domestic violence restraining order or conviction.

This bill requires law enforcement to seize ammunition and specific firearm components (such as detachable magazines, slides, barrels, and other parts essential to firearm operation) when a domestic violence restraining order is issued or following a domestic violence conviction. It expands current law, which only required seizure of firearms, to include these additional items that could be used with firearms. The bill defines "firearm accessory" as devices that attach to or facilitate firearm operation (like stocks or grips) and "firearm component" as parts material to a firearm's function. This applies to individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders or convicted of domestic violence offenses in New Jersey.
