30 Days to Issue: P2P, FID or Both?

[Alex V 99]

I have been searching and cant find the exact statute that says the FID must be issued in 30 days.  I know someone posted it, but my search skills seem to be sucking badly. 

 

Also, does this rule only apply to FID applications or P2P applications as well?

 

Someone, a while back, also posted a section of the code which says that if the document is not issued in 30 days its also a "crime"  Where is that?

 

Sorry guy, I know this has been covered ad nauseam but I just can't seem to find it.

2C:58-3

f.Granting of permit or identification card; fee; term; renewal; revocation.  The application for the permit to purchase a handgun together with a fee of $2, or the application for the firearms purchaser identification card together with a fee of $5, shall be delivered or forwarded to the licensing authority who shall investigate the same and, unless good cause for the denial thereof appears, shall grant the permit or the identification card, or both, if application has been made therefor, within 30 days from the date of receipt of the application for residents of this State and within 45 days for nonresident applicants.  A permit to purchase a handgun shall be valid for a period of 90 days from the date of issuance and may be renewed by the issuing authority for good cause for an additional 90 days.  A firearms purchaser identification card shall be valid until such time as the holder becomes subject to any of the disabilities set forth in subsection c. of this section, whereupon the card shall be void and shall be returned within five days by the holder to the superintendent, who shall then advise the licensing authority. Failure of the holder to return the firearms purchaser identification card to the superintendent within the said five days shall be an offense under subsection a. of N.J.S.2C:39-10. Any firearms purchaser identification card may be revoked by the Superior Court of the county wherein the card was issued, after hearing upon notice, upon a finding that the holder thereof no longer qualifies for the issuance of such permit. The county prosecutor of any county, the chief police officer of any municipality or any citizen may apply to such court at any time for the revocation of such card.

There shall be no conditions or requirements added to the form or content of the application, or required by the licensing authority for the issuance of a permit or identification card, other than those that are specifically set forth in this chapter.

Practically, the "crime" portion may be a bit of stretch, but if you are going to print, highlight and hand it in, feel free.  The highlight in red implies violation.
