AI Summary

This bill aims to address noise issues caused by migratory game hunters near coastal dwellings. It proposes two key changes to the existing laws in Massachusetts: 1) Hunters using watercraft or boats to hunt migratory game birds are prohibited from discharging firearms within 1,000 feet of the coastal shoreline. 2) Any watercraft used for hunting migratory game birds must not be within 1,000 feet of the coastal shoreline. These provisions are intended to reduce the noise and disturbance experienced by coastal residents from migratory game hunting activities in close proximity to their homes.
