Bill Summary

This bill would further regulate the sale of ammunition. Under current law, the sale of handgun ammunition is regulated to the extent that a purchaser must establish his or her eligibility by exhibiting a firearms purchaser identification card, a permit to purchase a handgun, or a permit to carry a handgun and that he or she is 21 years of age or older. This bill would establish a similar regulatory program governing the sale of rifle and shotgun ammunition. In addition to the documentation a purchaser may use to establish his or her eligibility to acquire handgun ammunition, this bill would permit prospective rifle and shotgun ammunition purchasers to exhibit a valid New Jersey hunting license to establish their eligibility. Sales and transfers of rifle and shotgun ammunition may not be made to individuals under 18 years of age.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a regulatory program for the sale of rifle and shotgun ammunition in New Jersey. Under the proposed law, in addition to the documentation required to purchase handgun ammunition (e.g., firearms purchaser identification card, permit to purchase a handgun, or permit to carry a handgun), individuals would also be able to use a valid New Jersey hunting license to establish their eligibility to purchase rifle and shotgun ammunition. The bill prohibits the sale of rifle and shotgun ammunition to individuals under 18 years of age. It also includes exceptions for certain transfers, such as to law enforcement agencies or for use at licensed firearms ranges.
