A 5346 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

"Firearm and Ammunition Procurement Act"; establishes State procurement practices for firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories.

The "Firearm and Ammunition Procurement Act" sets new requirements for New Jersey state agencies when purchasing firearms, ammunition, or firearm accessories. It mandates that businesses bidding on state contracts certify they do not sell unserialized gun kits or parts that can be used to build firearms (like unfinished frames), disclose any past inspection violations, and provide annual documentation on safety practices, including trace requests and theft reports. State agencies must reject non-compliant bids and cannot make emergency purchases of these items. The bill also requires agencies to develop compliance processes with the Attorney General, focusing on preventing straw sales, sales to prohibited individuals, and ensuring employee training. These rules apply to all future state contracts for these products.
