AI Summary

This bill amends the first sentence of Section 68 of Chapter 131 of the General Laws to include the word "coyote" after the word "raccoon," thereby authorizing the hunting of coyote with artificial light in Massachusetts. This change provides legal authorization for the hunting of coyotes using artificial light, which was previously not explicitly permitted under the existing law.
