Bill Summary
Relative to firearm safety and harassment prevention orders. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 258E of the General Laws to allow courts to order the immediate suspension and surrender of a defendant's license to carry firearms and firearms identification card, as well as the surrender of all firearms, rifles, shotguns, machine guns, and ammunition, upon the issuance of a temporary or emergency harassment prevention order. The court must make a determination that the return of such license and firearms presents a likelihood of harassment to the plaintiff. The bill also requires the court to transmit information about the defendant and the order to the Department of Criminal Justice Information Services, which will then report it to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System upon the expiration, cancellation, or revocation of the order.
