AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend the General Laws of Massachusetts to establish more equitable firearm license fees. Specifically, it reduces the application fee for a firearm identification card from $100 to $40, with the licensing authority retaining $20 and the remaining $20 being deposited into the General Fund. Similarly, the application fee for a license to carry firearms is reduced from $100 to $40, with the same fee distribution. The bill also requires that at least $50,000 of the funds deposited into the General Fund be allocated to the Firearm Licensing Review Board to fund its operations, with any unused funds reverting back to the General Fund.
