AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws to require licensed firearms dealers to take additional steps when selling, renting, or leasing firearms. Specifically, the bill mandates that dealers must contact the Massachusetts State Police Crime Laboratory Ballistics Section to test-fire each firearm, photograph it, and prepare ballistics reports. This information, along with details about the firearm such as make, model, serial number, and other characteristics, must then be submitted to the Massachusetts Instant Record Check System and Firearm Records Bureau. Additionally, the dealers must contact the National Instant Criminal Background Check System after submitting the firearm information.
