Please write Assembly Speaker Prieto at [email protected] and urge him to post Assembly Bill 2690 for a vote of the full Assembly.
There is still time for the Speaker to post this bill for a vote this Thursday.
Below is the description of how this bill benefits our members.
This bill expands the list of retired law enforcement officers who are eligible to receive a permit to carry a handgun. Under current law, certain retired law enforcement officers may annually apply for a permit to carry a handgun, until those officers reach age 75, at which time they are no longer eligible. The permit allows a retired law enforcement officer to carry a handgun at all times.
This bill expands the list of retired law enforcement officers eligible to receive a handgun carry permit to include: State park police officers; special agents of the Division of Taxation; Human Services police officers; New Jersey Transit police officers; campus police officers and university police officers employed by institutions of higher education; State conservation officers; and Palisades Interstate Park police officers.
Fraternally yours,
Robert W. Fox
President
