AI Summary
This bill modifies Section 131M of Chapter 140 of the Massachusetts General Laws by adding a specific reference to law enforcement officers defined in section 1 of Chapter 6E. The amendment appears to be related to expanding the scope of who can possess assault weapons or large capacity feeding devices on private campuses. Specifically, the bill adds language that would allow law enforcement officers as defined in Chapter 6E to potentially be exempt from existing restrictions on assault weapons or large capacity feeding devices. The technical amendment suggests a nuanced adjustment to existing law regarding the possession of certain types of firearms by law enforcement personnel on private campuses, though the full practical implications would require careful review of the referenced sections of Massachusetts law.
