The bill titled "An Act relative to fishing licenses for seniors" proposes an amendment to Chapter 131 of the General Laws in Massachusetts. Specifically, it seeks to modify the eligibility criteria for fishing licenses by removing the phrase "or has an intellectual disability" and replacing it with "or has reached the age of 60." This change aims to expand the eligibility for fishing licenses to include seniors aged 60 and older, thereby making it easier for this demographic to obtain the necessary permits for fishing.

The bill is presented by Adam J. Scanlon and is intended to take effect immediately upon passage. By broadening the criteria for fishing licenses, the legislation seeks to promote fishing activities among seniors, potentially enhancing their recreational opportunities and engagement with the outdoors.
