Bill > HB263

This bill amends Title 34 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, which governs game and hunting. Specifically, it modifies the rules regarding unlawful devices and methods used in hunting by allowing the use of a semi-automatic rifle for hunting game, provided it is done in accordance with regulations set by the Pennsylvania Game Commission, and it removes a prohibition on devices that discharge projectiles using air, chemical, or gas cylinders. Additionally, the bill extends the expiration date of a provision that allows for a special elk hunting license fundraiser, which was set to expire on July 1, 2018, meaning this special fundraising opportunity for elk hunters will continue.
