Bill Summary
This bill requires law enforcement officers to complete training regarding the identification of machine gun conversion devices. Under current law, the Police Training Commission is to require all law enforcement officers as a condition of continued employment or appointment as a law enforcement officer to receive periodic commission-approved continuing officer education training. The training is to be mandated or prescribed by the commission. Under this bill, the training required under current law is to include training regarding the identification of machine gun conversion devices and associated firearm components used to convert a semiautomatic firearm into a machine gun.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that law enforcement officers in New Jersey must undergo specific training to identify machine gun conversion devices, which are components used to modify a semiautomatic firearm to fire continuously with a single trigger pull, effectively turning it into a machine gun. This new training requirement will be incorporated into the existing continuing education that officers must complete periodically as a condition of their employment, as overseen by the Police Training Commission. The bill also clarifies that proof of this training must be submitted by the officer to their chief and then to the commission.
