An Act relative to access to constitutional rights

This bill modifies fingerprint requirements for license renewals across multiple Massachusetts licenses (including driver's licenses and firearms permits). It removes the strict rule that fingerprints were only waived if already on file with state police, instead allowing licensing authorities or the Executive Office of Public Safety to deem it reasonable to skip fingerprint collection in certain situations. The changes apply to sections governing license issuance and renewal in Chapter 140 of the General Laws. This directly affects license applicants and renewers who may face barriers to providing fingerprints. The policy change streamlines the process by adding flexibility for authorities to accommodate individual circumstances.
