relative to the return of firearms following a not guilty verdict or dismissal of the proceeding.
Inexpedient to Legislate: MA VV 02/19/2026 HJ 5 P. 8
Summary
The bill would make a court immediately order the return of any guns or ammunition seized in a criminal case that ends in a not‑guilty verdict or is discontinued, and it would require the law‑enforcement agency to give the items back within 24 hours. It removes the requirement for a background check before the return and applies to owners whose firearms were taken only because of the pending case.
