Bill > H2138

This bill proposes changes to the fees associated with firearm licenses in Massachusetts. Specifically, it amends Section 129B of Chapter 140 of the General Laws to set the fee for a firearm identification card application at $40, with $20 retained by the local licensing authority and $20 deposited into the state's General Fund. It also amends Section 131 of Chapter 140 to reduce the fee for certain firearm license applications to $40, with $20 retained by the licensing authority, $20 going to the General Fund, and a portion of those General Fund monies being allocated to the Firearm Licensing Review Board for its operations. The bill also clarifies that these fees are not prorated or refunded if a license is denied or revoked.
