Bill Summary

Relative to firearms

AI Summary

This bill amends existing laws related to firearms in Massachusetts. It creates a new "extreme risk protection order" that allows family members or law enforcement to petition the court to temporarily suspend a person's firearms license and require them to surrender their firearms if they are deemed to pose a significant risk of causing bodily injury to themselves or others. The bill also prohibits the possession of firearms by anyone subject to such an order or similar orders from other jurisdictions. Additionally, the bill makes technical changes to the definitions and language around firearms and licensing in the state's firearms laws.
