Bill Summary
Relative to firearm licensing requirements. Public Safety and Homeland Security.
AI Summary
This bill amends Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 140, specifically sections 129B and 131, which pertain to firearm licensing. The key change is the removal of language that stated failing to notify authorities of a change of address would be grounds for revoking or suspending a firearm identification card (under section 129B) or a firearm license (under section 131). This means that while individuals are still expected to update their address, the direct consequence of not doing so will no longer be the automatic revocation or suspension of their firearm permit.
