AI Summary

This bill amends Chapter 140 of the Massachusetts General Laws to establish the lawful return of privately-owned weapons that were temporarily stored with private businesses, including licensed retailers or bonded warehouses. The bill states that if the property was transferred to the business without the owner's written consent, no fees can be charged for its return.
