Sen. Jon M. Bramnick

Bill summary

Official digest is not on this card.

Now vs if chaptered

NOW: pending Senate referral; no voluntary registry. IF chaptered: a 2C:58-3 'do not sell' listing plus a 21-day cooling-off to exit, without creating a new possessory felony by itself.

Defender utility

NJ PDs on FPIC / 2C:58-3 denial and ERPO-adjacent calendars: this is a pending voluntary self-prohibition overlay, not a court-ordered red-flag. If it chapters, the fight is identity-verification, the 21-day exit wait, and whether a listing is treated as a 2C:39-7 / purchaser-ID disqualifier. Portable ERPO analogue — not a California GVRO.

Who this is for. NJ PDs and FPIC applicants watching a pending voluntary Do-Not-Sell registry — not present law; not a California GVRO.
