"Firearm and Ammunition Procurement Act"; establishes State procurement practices for firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories.
The Firearm and Ammunition Procurement Act sets new rules for how New Jersey state agencies purchase firearms, ammunition, and firearm accessories. It requires companies bidding for state contracts to certify they do not sell unserialized gun parts (like frames or receivers) and disclose any past inspection violations, while providing annual documentation on safety practices, trace requests, theft reports, and compliance with firearm laws. State agencies must reject non-compliant bids, cannot make emergency purchases of these items, and must develop safety-focused procurement procedures with the Attorney General. The law applies to all state contracts for these items starting on its effective date.
