S 3112 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires Attorney General to establish Statewide gun buyback program.

This bill requires New Jersey's Attorney General to create a statewide program allowing residents to voluntarily and anonymously surrender firearms for a reward. It mandates three annual buyback events - one in each of the state's northern, central, and southern regions - with at least one held in an urban area identified as high-crime by the Uniform Crime Report. The program would be funded using forfeiture funds from criminal cases, private donations, and other available resources, and must partner with local law enforcement and community groups. The initiative directly affects New Jersey residents who own firearms and choose to participate in the voluntary surrender process.
