N.J. officials spar over gun reform, as U.S. Supreme Court rules on concealed carry

New Jersey passed a bill to toughen penalties for inciting brawls at public gatherings. It’s part of an effort to stop chaotic shore pop-up parties.

A N.J. Assembly committee approved bills to give residents better access to affordable housing information, and keep renters from getting evicted.

The legislation includes more comprehensive background checks and a ban on carrying handguns in government buildings, sporting arenas, and bars.
