Prohibits retail dealers of firearms from being located near certain businesses and facilities.
New Jersey's S 2312 prohibits retail firearm dealers from operating within 1,000 feet of specific locations, including elementary/secondary schools, childcare centers, healthcare facilities, places of worship, and public parks. This directly affects firearm retailers seeking to open or maintain locations near these facilities. The bill amends existing law to require dealers to comply with this buffer zone, with violations subject to license revocation. The key mechanism is the geographic restriction, not changes to sales procedures or licensing fees.
