Bill > H3434

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 270 of the General Laws by adding a new section that would ban the use of glue or adhesive-based traps for controlling rats, mice, or other rodents, with a violation punishable by a fine of up to $50. The bill also retains existing provisions regarding the negligent or malicious placement of poison for rodent control, which carries a $25 fine, and designates officers responsible for enforcing fish, bird, and mammal laws to also enforce this new section.
