A 5964 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Attorney General to compile and publicly report certain statistics pertaining to permits to carry for handguns and firearm purchaser identification cards.

This bill requires New Jersey law enforcement agencies to submit monthly data on handgun permit and firearm purchaser ID card applications to the Attorney General. The data must include applicant demographics (race, ethnicity, gender identity), application status (approved/denied), denial reasons, and location details. The Attorney General must compile this information and publish initial and monthly reports online starting from June 2022. This affects all local law enforcement agencies handling firearm permits and provides the public with transparency about licensing outcomes.
