Massachusetts H1454 amends firearm safety and harassment prevention orders to include immediate suspension and surrender of firearms.
Massachusetts H1454 amends the General Laws to include provisions for the immediate suspension and surrender of firearms when a temporary or emergency harassment prevention order is issued. The court must order the surrender of all firearms, rifles, shotguns, machine guns, and ammunition controlled by the defendant. The suspension and surrender orders continue until the harassment prevention order is no longer in effect. Law enforcement officials take possession of the surrendered items, which cannot be transferred to anyone other than a licensed dealer.
