Bill Summary

For legislation relative to change of address for firearm licensing. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing Massachusetts law concerning firearm licensing by removing provisions that state failure to notify authorities of a change of address can lead to the revocation or suspension of a firearm card or license. Specifically, it targets Section 129B and Section 131 of Chapter 140 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which currently allow for such penalties if an individual with a firearm card or license does not report a change of address. The bill aims to eliminate this specific consequence for not reporting a change of address, thereby removing a potential reason for losing one's firearm authorization.
