AI Summary

This bill amends existing Massachusetts law, specifically Section 129C of Chapter 140 of the General Laws, to create a new exception regarding the use of shotguns by minors. The key provision allows individuals between the ages of twelve and seventeen, inclusive, to use a shotgun during a special youth hunt authorized by the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, as long as they are directly supervised by someone who possesses a valid firearm identification card or a license to carry firearms. A firearm identification card, often referred to as an FID card, is a permit required in Massachusetts to possess firearms and ammunition. This change aims to facilitate participation in supervised youth hunting activities.
