AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance the reporting and tracking of information related to certain firearms in Massachusetts. It has the following key provisions: 1. It requires law enforcement agencies to trace firearms that are seized or recovered, and report various data points about them, such as the make, model, serial number, type of crime committed, and whether the firearm was obtained illegally or used in gang activity. This information must be reported to the Commonwealth Fusion Center or the Criminal Firearms and Trafficking Unit within 48 hours. 2. It requires law enforcement agencies to submit test-fired ballistics information from recovered firearms, as well as spent shell casings related to crimes, to the National Integrated Ballistics Identification Network as soon as practicable. 3. It amends a previous law to require the state to opt-in to the eTrace System "Collective Data Sharing" program with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, which allows for the analysis of firearms trace data. The overall goal of the bill is to improve the collection and sharing of data related to firearms used in criminal activities, in order to aid law enforcement efforts and support research on gun violence.
