An Act relative to bow hunting for deer in Wompatuck State Park

This bill permits bow hunting for deer in Wompatuck State Park, overriding a previous restriction that prohibited it. It directly affects bow hunters seeking to hunt deer within the park's boundaries. The key provision allows the Department of Conservation and Recreation commissioner to create specific rules and regulations governing this hunting activity. The law changes existing park management rules to explicitly allow this type of hunting.
