Bill > H940

This bill proposes to completely repeal Section 80A of Chapter 131 of the Massachusetts General Laws, which currently relates to the use of leghold traps for capturing furbearing animals. By removing this entire section of law, the bill effectively eliminates the existing legal provisions that govern the use of leghold traps, which are mechanical devices designed to capture wild animals by gripping their limbs. While the government-provided summary suggests this is about trapping furbearing animals, the bill's actual text is quite concise, simply stating the intent to remove the entire existing section of law without providing additional details about the specific changes or rationale behind the repeal.
