Relative to harvesting of forest products. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill amends sections 46 and 49 of Chapter 132 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. The key changes are: 1) extending the annual license renewal period from June 30th to 3 years following the anniversary date of the license, and 2) changing the annual reporting requirement to every 3 years following the license anniversary date. These changes provide more flexibility and reduce administrative burden for forest product harvesters who are licensed under these laws.
