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 unless the municipality's voters approved it and a license was obtained. The repeal removes the restrictions on Sunday baseball and football games, allowing them to be played without the need for a referendum or municipal license. The bill provides context that the original law aimed to regulate Sunday sports activities, and the repeal intends to leave the decision-making on such activities to the municipalities and their residents.
