AI Summary
This bill aims to amend existing Massachusetts law to allow the use of crossbows in hunting. Specifically, it removes the current prohibition on the use of crossbows, except as provided in Section 69, and instead allows the use of crossbows as long as they meet the requirements set by the director in the rules and regulations. The rules and regulations will prescribe the general design, weight of pull, and type of bows, arrows, and crossbows that conform to standards accepted for hunting purposes.
