Bill Summary

For legislation to preserve second amendment rights for medical marijuana patients. 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 the state's firearm licensing laws to prevent the denial of a license to carry or a firearm identification card solely on the basis of an applicant being a lawful holder of a medical marijuana patient license. This means that medical marijuana patients in the state would not lose their right to own or possess firearms under state law solely due to their medical marijuana use.
