Requires notification of local law enforcement prior to expungement of certain mental health records of prospective firearms purchasers.

This bill requires courts to notify local law enforcement when someone seeks to expunge mental health records that currently bar firearm purchases. It directly affects New Jersey residents applying to clear such records under state law (N.J.S.2C:58-3) to regain firearm eligibility. The key mechanism adds a mandatory step: courts must serve copies of expungement orders on county prosecutors, local police chiefs, and the Attorney General before granting relief. This ensures law enforcement can review the case before records are removed, aligning with federal background check requirements under the Brady Act and NICS Improvement Act.
