AI Summary
This bill authorizes the personal and non-commercial picking of mushrooms in state parks, forest recreation areas, and reservations under the control of the Department of Conservation and Recreation in Massachusetts. However, the Commissioner may limit certain areas where mushroom picking is prohibited and can make rules and regulations for the taking of mushrooms on these lands. The bill also specifies that the Department and its employees are not liable for any injury or death related to a person's mushroom picking, consumption, or use, unless there was willful or reckless conduct by the Department or its employees. The term "take" or "taking" refers to the collecting, picking, or cutting of mushrooms, including removing them from the Department's lands. The bill will take effect 6 months after its passage.
