Bill > A2006

This bill amends New Jersey law to reduce the maximum capacity of ammunition magazines for semi-automatic firearms to 10 rounds, with a specific exemption for firearms that have a tubular magazine designed to hold 15 rounds and operate exclusively with .22 caliber rimfire ammunition, such as those commonly found in certain rifles. The bill also clarifies that this 10-round limit does not apply to these specific .22 caliber tubular magazines. Additionally, the bill includes a provision allowing retired law enforcement officers who are authorized to carry a handgun to possess a large capacity ammunition magazine capable of holding up to 15 rounds for their semi-automatic handguns. The changes will take effect on the first day of the third month after the bill is enacted.
