An Act relative to hunting on Sunday
This bill repeals Section 57 of Chapter 131 in Massachusetts General Laws, which previously prohibited hunting on Sundays. By removing this restriction, the bill directly affects hunters in Massachusetts who may now hunt on Sundays without violating state law. The key mechanism is the deletion of the specific legal provision that banned Sunday hunting. This is a straightforward procedural change to the state's hunting regulations.
