A 1708 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits retail dealers of firearms from being located near certain businesses and facilities.

This bill prohibits retail firearm dealers from operating within 1,000 feet of specific locations, including schools (elementary, secondary, preschool), childcare centers, healthcare facilities, places of worship, alcohol-serving establishments, parks, and other firearm dealers. It directly affects firearm retailers seeking to open or maintain locations near these facilities. The restriction applies to all retail firearm dealers and their business premises, requiring them to comply with the new buffer zone requirements. The law amends New Jersey's existing firearm licensing statute to establish this spatial limitation.
