SENATE PASSES / AMENDS GUN BILL
PACKAGE

ANJRPC Executive Director Scott Bach to Recap

And Discuss Next Steps at Tuesday Appearance

Today (May 13), the New
Jersey State Senate passed / amended a package of 14 gun bills in a largely
partisan vote, following two weeks of hearings in various Senate
committees. Some of the bills in the package will now move back to the
Assembly for reconciliation with changes made in the Senate, and whatever
passes the Assembly will then move to the Governor’s office. Other bills were
amended today and will be postponed to a later voting
session.
