An Act relative to the use of shotgun ammunition for hunting

This bill would update Massachusetts law to allow the state wildlife director to create rules about which types of shotgun shells hunters can use. Currently, the law does not explicitly grant the director this authority, so the bill adds that power to the existing regulations. The change directly affects hunters and the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife by enabling the director to manage shotgun ammunition standards. If passed, the director could issue specific guidelines on ammunition types for hunting purposes.
