A 636 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Exempts qualified veterans from paying certain firearm related fees.

Bill A 636 exempts qualified veterans from paying certain fees when applying for handgun permits or firearm purchaser identification cards in New Jersey. It directly affects veterans who meet eligibility criteria under the bill, removing the fee requirement currently imposed on applicants under N.J.S.2C:58-3. The key provision amends statutes to eliminate the fee that retail dealers may charge for processing firearm permit or identification card transactions. This is a concrete policy change, not a procedural measure, as it modifies the fee structure for veterans seeking firearm-related permits. The bill is currently pending in the Assembly Military and Veterans' Affairs Committee.
