Bill Summary

Relative to firearm license fees. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts General Laws to equalize the fees for firearm identification card and firearms license applications. Specifically, it reduces the application fee for both types of licenses from $100 to $40, with the licensing authority retaining $20 and the remaining $20 being deposited into the state's General Fund. Additionally, the bill requires that at least $50,000 of the funds deposited into the General Fund be allocated to the Firearm Licensing Review Board for its operations, with any unused funds reverting back to the General Fund.
