Bill > S1670

This bill amends Section 12 of Chapter 269 of the Massachusetts General Laws by removing existing language that specifically regulated sling shots. By striking the words "sling shot" from line 6 and removing the clause that previously limited sling shot manufacturing and sales to clubs or associations conducting sporting events, the bill effectively eliminates prior restrictions on the manufacture and sale of sling shots. This change means that sling shots can now be manufactured and sold more broadly in Massachusetts without the previous limitations, potentially making them available to a wider range of consumers through standard retail channels. The bill appears to be a straightforward deregulation of sling shots, expanding their commercial availability beyond the previous narrow scope of sporting clubs and associations.
