services. A licensed dealer may charge the seller a fee not to exceed $25 for each sale or transfer submitted on behalf of the seller to the department of criminal justice information services.
From GOAL's summary:
SECTION 30

BS.
SECTION 30. Paragraph (l) of said section 131 of said chapter 140, as so appearing, is hereby amended
by inserting after the first sentence the following sentence:- The form for renewal shall include an
affidavit whereby the applicant shall verify that the applicant has not lost any firearms or had any
firearms stolen from the applicant’s possession since the date of the applicant’s last renewal or
issuance.
SECTION 18. Section 128A of said chapter 140 is hereby amended by adding the following 2 sentences:-

place at the location of a dealer licensed pursuant to section 122, who shall transmit the information
required by this section for purchases and sales to the department of criminal justice information
services. A licensed dealer may charge the seller a fee not to exceed $25 for each sale or transfer
submitted on behalf of the seller to the department of criminal justice information services.
That's a possibility but think of how it's worded: "same conditions and restrictions".
SECTION 25. The third paragraph of said section 129C of said chapter 140, as so appearing is hereby amended by striking out the last sentence and inserting in place thereof the following 2 sentences:- Whoever fails to report the loss or theft of a firearm, rifle, shotgun or machine gun or the recovery of any firearm, rifle, shotgun or machine gun, previously reported lost or stolen, to both the commissioner of the department of criminal justice information services and the licensing authority in the city or town where the owner resides shall be punished by a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000 for a first offense, by a fine of not less than $2,500 nor more than $7,500 for a second offense and by a fine of not less than $7,500 nor more than $10,000 or imprisonment for not less than 1 year nor more than 5 years, or by both such fines and imprisonments, for a third or subsequent offense. Failure to so report shall be cause for suspension or permanent revocation of such person's firearm identification card or license to carry firearms, or both.
SECTION 16. [Reducing Gun Trafficking] Requires firearms dealers who fail to renew their license or
whose license is forfeited to transmit all records of firearms sales to EOPSS and ATF.
SECTION 30. [Reducing Gun Trafficking] Requires applicants for the renewal of a license to carry to list

SECTION 18. [Reducing Gun Trafficking] Requires all secondary market gun sales to take place at a
location operated by a licensed firearms dealer and requires the dealer to submit pertinent information
to DCJIS.
I don't see this in the actual bill.
So, if Glocks are not allowed under 93A (AG regs), does that mean they need to be removed from the EOPSS roster, and thus will no longer be able to be sold to police departments in MA?
Sounds like they're playing the role of facilitator rather than actually taking the guns onto their own books.
I doubt that BATFE would see it that way. My bet is that they would require it to go thru the BB and thus meet all the MGLs for transfers.
Yup, bye bye FTF private sales...

Why, if all they're doing is transmitting info to the state?

Because there are very specific federal laws/regulations that dictate what a FFL MUST do wrt any gun coming into his business premises. I'm not an expert in this area, but I am pretty sure they dictate that it must be logged in the BB with only an exception for an immediate repair (e.g. changing sights while the customer waits, etc.).

When the state passes/proposes a law they could care less what impact it might have wrt the federal law/regs that a dealer must operate under.
what a freaking disaster.
all guns you bought or sold since your last renewal? I don't even know how to start doing that, or breaking out which ones moved with me, or which ones I bought, or which ones my wife bought. It's nucking futs.
