S 1860 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Gives priority to applicants for firearms purchaser identification card and permits to purchase handguns when domestic violence restraining order is in effect.

This bill requires New Jersey to prioritize processing firearm permit applications when a domestic violence restraining order is active. It directly affects applicants subject to such restraining orders, which under current law already prohibit permit issuance. The change adds a priority system for these applications, meaning they are processed faster by the state. The bill amends existing law (N.J.S.2C:58-3) that already bans permits for people under domestic violence restraining orders.
