Bill overview
This bill, the "Responsibility in Firearms Sales Act," aims to reduce firearm-related injuries and deaths in New Jersey by requiring licensing of firearm manufacturers. It establishes a fund, the RIFS Fund, to compensate victims of firearm injuries or deaths and their families. The bill also outlines specific definitions related to firearms and injuries, and sets a framework for determining the annual licensing fees, which will be tied to the state’s public health costs associated with firearm incidents.
