AI Summary

This bill amends Section 52 of Chapter 130 of the General Laws in Massachusetts to require that cities and towns do not charge veterans a fee for shellfishing permits that is greater than the fee charged to a resident of that city or town. The term "veteran" is defined in the state's general laws as someone who has served in the armed forces. This change aims to provide more affordable access to shellfishing for military veterans in Massachusetts.
