Bill > A4434

This bill amends existing New Jersey law to decriminalize the manufacture and certain possession of slingshots. Specifically, it removes slingshots from the definition of "weapon" in N.J.S.2C:39-1, which defines various terms related to weapons and firearms. Additionally, it removes slingshots from the list of "Certain weapons" in N.J.S.2C:39-3, which outlines prohibited weapons and devices, and from the list of "Weapons" in N.J.S.2C:39-9, which addresses the manufacture, transport, disposition, and defacement of weapons. By removing slingshots from these sections, the bill effectively makes their manufacture and possession no longer a criminal offense under these specific statutes.
