An Act requiring nonlead ammunition when taking wildlife

This bill requires hunters in Massachusetts to use ammunition containing less than 1% lead when taking birds or mammals. It mandates the wildlife director to annually certify compliant ammunition (including federally approved nontoxic options) and notify hunters via the agency website. Violations carry fines of $100-$250 or up to 30 days in jail, with exceptions for government officials acting in official duties. The law directly affects all recreational hunters taking birds or mammals in the Commonwealth.
