AI Summary
This bill amends Chapter 131 of the General Laws by adding a new section, 73A, which grants the division of fisheries and wildlife, part of the department of fish and game, the authority to implement measures to manage the moose population and address public safety issues in Worcester, Berkshire, Hampshire, Hampden, and Franklin counties. This new authority allows the division to take action beyond existing regulations to ensure a stable moose population and mitigate potential risks to the public, and requires the division to submit an annual report detailing these measures to the Joint Committee on Natural Resources and Agriculture, while also maintaining and reporting moose population records to the same committee.
