An Act waiving sporting, hunting or fishing license fees for people who use a wheelchair as their primary source of mobility
This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow individuals who use a wheelchair as their primary mode of mobility to receive free sporting, hunting, and fishing licenses. By adding this group to the list of eligible recipients alongside those with paraplegia, the legislation expands access to outdoor recreation for people with specific mobility challenges. The change requires no new funding and simply removes the fee barrier for these license types, ensuring they are treated equivalently to other residents with similar physical conditions.
