Bill > S413

This bill amends Section 80A of Chapter 131 of the General Laws, which deals with permits for managing problem wildlife, by adding a new requirement for anyone who receives such a permit. Specifically, individuals holding a permit to address wildlife issues must now submit a report to the director of the division of fisheries and wildlife within thirty days of the permit's expiration. This report needs to include details such as the municipality where the problem occurred, the property owner's name and address, the name of the authorized agent who handled the issue, the method used to resolve the problem, and the number and species of animals taken under the permit, along with any other information the director deems necessary. This change aims to enhance the management and oversight of problem wildlife situations by ensuring better data collection and accountability.
