Ms. Creem and Ms. Jehlen move to amend the bill by adding the following new section:-

SECTION XXX.  Any person who was issued a license pursuant to section 122 of chapter 140 of the General Laws that is no longer current or valid and who sold a firearm, including any rifle or shotgun, under that license any time after January 1, 1994, shall transmit or cause to transmit, within 180 days of the effective date of this act, all records of firearms sold under that license to the executive office of public safety and security and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Whoever fails to comply with this section shall be punishable by a fine of not less than $500 and not more than $5,000; provided, however, no fine shall be assessed if the executive office of public safety determines that, upon written explanation within, a person otherwise in violation of this section cannot reasonably comply.
