    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

The motion was made, seconded, and passed unanimously to see if the town will vote to ask the Massachusetts Legislature to authorize the town to establish and maintain a separate account known as the Firearms Licensing Fund authorizing the town treasurer to keep the funds separate and apart from all other monies of the town and requiring the treasurer to deposit in the account the town’s share of all monies associated with firearms licensing.  The treasurer may invest these fund in the manner prescribed in sections 54 and 55 of said chapter 44.  The Chief of Police or a person authorized to act in the Chief’s place may expend the principal and income from these funds for fees to the Commonwealth for firearms licensing, for firearms training for officers and the public and for all costs associated with firearms licensing.
