AI Summary

This bill aims to enhance the management of problem wildlife. It proposes to amend Section 80A of Chapter 131 of the General Laws in Massachusetts, which deals with the issuance of permits to manage problem wildlife. The key provision of the bill is that any person issued a permit under this section must, within 30 days of the permit's expiration or extension, report to the director of the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife on various details related to the permit, such as the municipality, property owner, address, authorized agent, method used, and the number and species of animals taken. This additional reporting requirement is intended to provide the director with more information to better manage problem wildlife situations.
