Overview
This bill proposes to extend the time frame within which prosecutors can pursue charges for the theft of firearms in New Jersey. Currently, theft of a firearm is generally subject to a five-year statute of limitations. This bill would increase that limit to ten years, allowing law enforcement more time to investigate and prosecute these crimes. The change aims to address cases where investigations may be complex or delayed, ensuring justice for victims and preventing firearms from falling into the wrong hands.
