Bill Summary

Relative to licenses to carry firearms or the possession of firearm identification cards for holders of medical marijuana patient licenses. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill aims to preserve the Second Amendment rights of medical marijuana patients in Massachusetts. It proposes amending existing laws to prevent the state and its licensing bodies from denying a license to carry firearms or a firearm identification card solely on the basis of the applicant being a lawful holder of a medical marijuana patient license. This means that individuals with a valid medical marijuana patient license would not be automatically disqualified from obtaining a firearm license or identification card.
