Bill Summary
An Act amending Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in hunting and furtaking, repealing provisions relating to hunting on Sunday prohibited and providing for hunting on Sunday.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes by repealing the existing law that prohibited hunting on Sundays, and adding a new section that allows the Pennsylvania Game Commission to institute Sunday hunting through regulations. Specifically, the bill repeals the previous law that made it unlawful to hunt for any furbearer or game on Sundays, with some limited exceptions. The new section allows the Game Commission to permit Sunday hunting by regulation, and makes it lawful for people to hunt on Sundays once the final regulation is published. The bill specifies that the repeal of the existing law will take effect on the publication of the new regulations, while the remainder of the bill will take effect 60 days after passage.
