Bill Summary
Relative to the use of crossbows in hunting. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing Massachusetts law to allow the use of crossbows in hunting, in addition to the current allowance for bows and arrows. It removes the prohibition on the use of crossbows, except as previously provided in Section 69, and establishes a new Section 69 that outlines the requirements for bows, arrows, and crossbows used for hunting purposes. The new section authorizes the director to promulgate rules and regulations to set standards for the design, weight of pull, and type of bows, arrows, and crossbows that can be used for hunting.
