Prohibits possession and requires registration of body armor in certain circumstances.

This bill requires most New Jersey residents to register body armor they already own within 90 days of the law taking effect. It also mandates that anyone purchasing new body armor must obtain a permit from the Attorney General, which is valid for 30 days. Exemptions apply to law enforcement officers, active military personnel, government employees using armor for work, and licensed body armor dealers. Violations - such as possessing unregistered body armor or selling without a permit - carry fines up to $1,000 or third-degree criminal charges. The law does not restrict government entities or exempt groups from these requirements.
