Bill summary

Official digest is not on this card.

Now vs if chaptered

Now: DV seizure statutes target weapons/firearms. If chaptered: ammo, accessories, and components ride the same seizure and 45-day return/title hearing. Confirm chaptering before advising.

Defender utility

New Jersey defenders: current DVRO seizure is weapons-forward; ammo/component seizure is not yet a separate statutory mandate. If this chapters, calendars become return-hearing practice (45-day prosecutor action or return) plus scope fights over what is a 'firearm component.' ERPO/protective-order vehicle the bank already serves. Not a current charge.

Who this is for. NJ PDs on DVRO seizure/return calendars — pending ammo/component expansion, not present law; not a California charge.
