Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize the hunting of coyote with artificial light. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill amends the existing Massachusetts law to allow the hunting of coyotes using artificial light. Specifically, it inserts the term "coyote" into the first sentence of Section 68 of Chapter 131 of the General Laws, which previously only authorized the use of artificial light for hunting raccoons. The bill provides legal authorization for this new hunting activity, expanding the existing law to include coyotes as a species that can be hunted with the aid of artificial light.
