Technically hollow points are legal in NJ but the the laws are extremely strict for them. Some of the laws regarding hollow points / home defense ammunition:
1. Can only be transported to and from the gun store / home, to and from a shooting range / home, to and from home to hunting area.
2. When moving from one home to another, they cannot be transported from the old address to the new address. While there is an exemption to transport firearms from old home to new home, there is no excemption for hollow point ammunition.
3. If used in a criminal manner, there are additional fines/punishment for using hollow point ammunition.

Welcome to the Nanny state of New Jersey! Be sure to leave your freedom at the state border, where you can pick it up upon your exit.
BTW: there is a case pending right now where a nurse who resides in Philadelphia and has a PA CCW was arrested in NJ because she assumed her PA CCW is valid in NJ. Note: NJ has no CCW reciprocity with any other state. Obtaining a NJ CCW requires one to prove that he or she has had their life threatened, and can prove a firearm is the only action that will prevent future threats. (IE: your NJ CCW will be awarded post-humously after you are dead and buried.)
Sorry - I don't mean to take this to PARF - I am just making you aware of the super strict gun laws we have, and how easy it can be for someone to mistakenly get in a heap of trouble here...
