AI Summary

This bill aims to clarify firearms oversight by amending Section 2 of Chapter 93A of the General Laws. The key provisions are: (1) rules and regulations under Chapter 93A shall not govern, limit, or relate to weapons as defined in Section 121 of Chapter 140, the manufacture of weapons, or the sale of weapons; and (2) any such previously promulgated rules or regulations are hereby repealed. This bill seeks to ensure that the rules and regulations under Chapter 93A do not interfere with the oversight of firearms, weapons manufacturing, and weapons sales, which are likely governed by separate laws and regulations.
