Bill > H1010

This bill amends Section 66 of Chapter 131 of the Massachusetts General Laws to give the Director of Fisheries and Wildlife, under the oversight of the board, the authority to create regulations specifically governing the types of shotgun ammunition that can be used for hunting purposes. The proposed change provides the director with explicit regulatory power to determine which shotgun ammunition is permissible for hunting activities, replacing the previous language of the section with a more focused and direct statement of regulatory jurisdiction. By granting this specific authority, the bill aims to give the Director of Fisheries and Wildlife more precise control over ammunition regulations to potentially improve hunting safety, conservation efforts, or wildlife management strategies.
