Bill overview
This bill proposed to require Massachusetts residents to update their address with the state’s Bureau of Firearms whenever they move. Currently, Massachusetts does not have a system for automatically updating firearm licenses with a person’s new address, potentially leading to outdated records and posing a risk to public safety. The bill aimed to establish a process for ensuring that law enforcement and licensing officials have the most current contact information for all firearm owners. It was ultimately unsuccessful.
