H 2715 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to firearms features

This bill amends Chapter 135 of the Acts of 2024 by removing two specific features from the legal definition of "assault-style firearm." Section 1 deletes subsection 121(a)(v), and Section 2 deletes subsection 121(b)(iv), which previously listed certain firearm characteristics. The change directly affects firearms that were previously classified under this definition due to those specific features. This is a procedural adjustment to the definition, not a new restriction or allowance.
