Prohibits sale of ammunition by vending machine.
This bill prohibits the sale of ammunition through vending machines that dispense items directly to consumers after payment. It directly affects businesses operating such machines and anyone attempting to purchase ammunition this way. The law defines "vending machine" broadly as any device accepting payment to deliver items, and violations are classified as fourth-degree crimes punishable by up to 18 months in prison or a $10,000 fine. The prohibition applies to all ammunition covered under existing New Jersey law (C.2C:58-3.3) and takes immediate effect.
