Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize bow and arrow hunting on Sundays. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to authorize the use of bow and arrows for Sunday hunting in Massachusetts. Specifically, the bill would amend existing state law by striking out the language that prohibits the use of "bow and arrow" for hunting on Sundays, and adding new language to explicitly allow hunting with a bow and arrow on Sundays. This change would provide more flexibility for hunters to use bow and arrow hunting methods on Sundays, in addition to the currently permitted use of firearms such as shotguns.
