Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey plans to implement a wide-ranging gun law immediately today. The state’s Constitution provides for a campaign to prevent laws from taking effect until voters can weigh in by submitting enough signatures to place the law on a future ballot, however, this provision is void if the measure has an emergency preamble attached, which is exactly what Healey now plans to do.
Healy initially signed the law on July 25th and it was set to take effect on October 23rd.
