Explosives Act
New Jersey · Explosives and Fireworks · §§ 21:1A-128 to 21:1A-144 · 17 sections
Overview
The Explosives Act regulates the manufacture, sale, storage, transportation, and use of explosives, placing those activities under the jurisdiction of a designated state commissioner with authority to enforce the act and issue implementing rules. Its central mechanism is a permit system: certain acts are prohibited without a permit, applicants are investigated and must meet qualifications before one is issued, and permit holders are subject to fees, renewal, recordkeeping and reporting duties, and standards governing manufacturing plants, magazines, transportation, and blasting operations, including safe disposal of deteriorated or leaking material. The act also criminalizes possession of explosives or bombs for an unlawful purpose, and provides for penalties, permit revocation, and specified exemptions.
