Bill overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Public Safety Risk Assessment to give greater consideration to firearms as a public safety risk. It aims to ensure that the assessment more accurately reflects the dangers posed by firearms, particularly in light of recent trends like ‘ghost guns’ and firearm conversion devices. The bill seeks to update the assessment process to better align with current threats and ensure that offenses involving firearms are appropriately categorized as violent crimes. This will help courts make more informed decisions regarding pretrial release.
