A 5752 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows municipalities to adopt certain zoning ordinances pertaining to outdoor firing ranges.

This bill requires municipalities with outdoor firing ranges to adopt zoning ordinances establishing specific safety guidelines. The guidelines must include visible signage showing the range's location and hours, limits on ammunition caliber/gauge (consistent with current law), and requirements for side and impact berms on the range property. Municipalities must also hold public hearings and notify residents within one mile of the range about proposed regulations. The law does not change existing firearm laws but adds local zoning requirements for range safety.
