Bill Summary
Relative to firearms records. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security (EOPSS) to create two new administrative systems related to firearms records in Massachusetts. First, EOPSS must develop and implement a periodic audit process for firearms registration records to identify and remove registrations of deceased individuals or those who are no longer Massachusetts residents. Second, the office must create an annual process of generating and sending a detailed firearms registration list to each registered gun owner, which will include firearm serial numbers and owner information. Under this system, gun owners will be legally required to review the list and provide a response confirming that all registration details are accurate. The goal of these provisions appears to be maintaining more up-to-date and precise firearms registration records by actively engaging registered gun owners in verifying their information and systematically removing outdated registrations.
