Bill Summary

Relative to imitation firearms. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill amends the definition of "imitation firearm" in Massachusetts law to exclude certain devices that are colored or marked in a way that distinguishes them from actual firearms. The bill also prohibits the import, manufacture, sale, or distribution of imitation firearms within the state, except for those used in theatrical productions or transported out of state. A violation of this new law would be considered an unfair or deceptive trade practice under the state's consumer protection laws.
