AI Summary

This bill revises the definition of "firearm" in New Jersey law to clarify that BB guns, which use compressed air to fire non-pointed pellets at a velocity of less than 500 feet per second, are not considered firearms. This means that BB guns would not be subject to the strict licensing and permitting requirements applicable to firearms under New Jersey's firearms laws.
