Bill Summary
An Act repealing the act of April 25, 1933 (P.L.74, No.49), entitled "An act relating to baseball and football on Sunday; prohibiting baseball and football on Sunday during certain hours, and also during certain other hours unless the electors of a municipality are in favor of the same and, in certain cases, a license has first been secured from the municipal authorities; providing for referendums to ascertain the will of the electors, and for the enactment and repeal of licensing ordinances and resolutions in accordance therewith; providing penalties; and repealing inconsistent laws."
AI Summary
This bill repeals the Sunday Baseball and Football Law of 1933, which prohibited baseball and football games on Sundays in Pennsylvania unless the local municipality's voters approved it and a license was obtained. The bill removes these restrictions, allowing baseball and football games to be played on Sundays without the need for voter approval or a municipal license.
