Clarifies that law enforcement agencies may hold gun buyback programs and permits voluntary surrender of ammunition.
This bill (S 2750) clarifies that New Jersey residents can voluntarily surrender ammunition to law enforcement agencies in the same manner as firearms, requiring written notice to the local chief of police or state police superintendent. It mandates that gun buyback programs authorized by the Attorney General or county prosecutors must accept both firearms and ammunition, and may offer rewards for surrendered items. The bill explicitly confirms that existing law permits these programs but removes ambiguity about ammunition surrender, making the process clearer for participants and law enforcement.
