Bill summary
Official digest is not on this card.
Now vs if chaptered
Now: 2C:58-3 investigation does not include this immigration-authority notice. If chaptered: CLEO or Superintendent would notify ICE and cooperate on 922(d)(5) applicants.
Defender utility
Use this print as the pending Senate ICE-notify overlay for immigrant clients on FPIC / 2C:58-3 calendars. Today's issuer does not have this notice-and-cooperate duty. Unlawful presence is already a federal transfer bar under §922(d)(5); this bill would add a state notification duty if chaptered. Not a California charge.
Who this is for. NJ PDs with immigrant clients on FPIC/permit calendars — pending ICE-notify overlay, not present law; not a California charge.
