Massachusetts H2665 amends firearm licensing laws to prevent fingerprint collection in certain situations.

Massachusetts H2665 modifies the state's firearm licensing laws by removing the requirement for fingerprint collection in specific circumstances. This change applies to both the issuance and renewal of firearms identification cards and licenses to carry firearms. The bill allows for exceptions if the applicant's fingerprints are already on file with the Department of State Police or if the licensing authority or the Executive Office of Public Safety deems it reasonable to prevent fingerprint collection.
