Section 13:54-3.10 - Renewal of retail dealers and employees licenses

(a) An applicant for renewal of a retail firearms dealers license need not be fingerprinted again, provided such applicant completes the New Jersey State Police, State Bureau of Identification (SBI) "Request For Criminal History Record Information For A Non Criminal Justice Purpose" form, and submits the required fee for processing such form established by N.J.A.C. 13:59. If the applicant disputes the results of the criminal history records check, or the check reveals a discrepancy relating to the applicant, the individual shall be required to submit fingerprints for verification of identity.

(b) An applicant for renewal of a retail firearms dealers license need not submit additional proof of zoning compliance to the Superintendent. Dealers are nevertheless required to notify the Superintendent within 48 hours of receiving written notice from the local zoning official or other competent authority that they are not in compliance with such local zoning requirements. The failure of a retail dealer to comply with this notification requirement may result in the revocation of the registration or license of such dealer.

(c) An applicant for renewal of a retail firearms dealers license shall follow all other procedures required for the issuance of an initial license, including completion of form SP 649 and submission of a consent for mental health records form SP 66. Such applications shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable fee of $ 50.00 payable to the Superintendent and the fee established by N.J.A.C. 13:59 in accordance with 53:1-20.5 et seq.

(d) The employee's license is valid, only so long as the employer's retail dealer license is valid, and therefore employees' licenses must be renewed simultaneously with the employer's license. To this end, all licensed employees who engage in the purchase or sale of firearms or ammunition or engage in gunsmithing, or have access and/or control of firearms or the firearms acquisition and disposition records, must also submit renewal applications to continue transacting business on behalf of the licensee, including completion of form S.P. 649 and submission of a consent for mental health records form S.P. 66. Such applications shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable fee of $ 5.00 payable to the Superintendent and the fee established by N.J.A.C. 13:59 in accordance with 53:1-20.5et seq. The applicant shall also complete a request to the New Jersey State Police, State Bureau of Identification (SBI) "Request For Criminal History Record Information For Non Criminal Justice Purpose" form, and submit the required fee for processing such form established by N.J.A.C. 13:59.

(e) Retail dealers and employees of dealers applying for license renewal, at the time of such renewal, shall:

1. Continue to be qualified for the issuance of a permit to purchase a handgun or a firearms purchaser identification card as provided by this chapter;

2. Meet the standards and qualifications of the Superintendent; and

3. Not pose a danger to the public health, safety or welfare.
