AI Summary
This bill proposes to amend Section 121 of Chapter 140 of the General Laws by adding a provision that clarifies the definition of an "Assault Weapon." Specifically, it states that an AR platform rifle, which refers to a type of semi-automatic rifle often used for sport shooting and commonly associated with military designs, when equipped with a telescoping stock, which is a stock that can be adjusted for length, will not be classified as an "Assault Weapon" under state law. This change is intended to address the designation of these particular types of firearms for public safety purposes.
