A 6303 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Responsibility in Firearms Sales Act"; requires licensing of firearm manufacturers.

This bill requires firearm manufacturers in New Jersey to obtain an annual license from the State Police Superintendent. It directly affects manufacturers (who must apply for and maintain licenses) and retailers (who cannot sell firearms from unlicensed manufacturers). The key mechanism is a licensing system with fees collected from manufacturers, which would fund the "RIFS Fund" to compensate victims of firearm injuries or their families. The bill does not specify fee amounts or exact compensation formulas but mandates that licensing revenue supports victims.
