An Act relative to wildlife rehabilitators

HD 2015 requires trained wildlife rehabilitators in Massachusetts to work under a written agreement with a veterinarian. This agreement must detail specific procedures, services, responsibilities, and limitations, and must be approved by the Division of Fisheries and Wildlife. The bill directly affects licensed rehabilitators who care for sick, injured, or orphaned wildlife. It formalizes a new administrative requirement for oversight, updating existing law to ensure rehabilitators operate under veterinary guidance.
