Requires firearm retailers to provide disclosure of customer's responsibility to report stolen or lost firearms; advises customers it is unlawful to purchase firearms with intent to sell to disqualified persons.
This New Jersey bill (S 1800) requires firearm retailers to provide customers with a written disclosure at the point of sale. The disclosure informs customers they must report lost or stolen firearms within 36 hours to local law enforcement or the State Police, and warns that buying a firearm to illegally resell it to disqualified individuals is unlawful. Retailers must have customers sign and keep copies of this disclosure for 15 years, and prominently post the same notice at all sales counters. Violations carry civil penalties up to $1,000 per offense, with collected fines directed to gun violence prevention efforts.
