Bill Summary

Amending Titles 30 (Fish) and 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in fishing licenses, providing for active duty military fishing reciprocity and for disabled veteran annual fishing license reciprocity; and, in hunting and furtaking licenses, providing for active duty military hunting reciprocity and for disabled veteran annual hunting license reciprocity.

AI Summary

This bill amends Pennsylvania's fish and game laws to provide reciprocity for active duty military personnel and disabled veterans when it comes to fishing and hunting licenses. Specifically, the bill allows active duty military members from other states to fish and hunt in Pennsylvania without a Pennsylvania license, as long as their home state provides the same privilege to Pennsylvania's active duty military. It also allows disabled veterans from other states to obtain a discounted or free annual fishing or hunting license in Pennsylvania, as long as their home state provides a similar privilege. The Attorney General is tasked with negotiating reciprocity agreements with other states and reporting on the agreements annually.
