H 2640 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to the Civilian Marksmanship Program

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow firearms obtained through the federal Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) to be transferred by licensed individuals. It specifically overrides any existing state law, regulation, or special law that previously prevented such transfers. The change directly affects firearm licensees in Massachusetts who participate in the CMP, enabling them to legally transfer these specific firearms. The key mechanism is a new legal provision stating CMP firearms "shall be eligible for transfer by a licensee," removing prior barriers.
