Bill > SB796

This bill removes the existing time restrictions for Sunday hunting in Dorchester County, which previously limited hunting to only between 30 minutes before sunrise and 10:30 a.m. Currently, most Maryland counties have specific time limitations on Sunday hunting during game bird and game mammal seasons, with some exceptions for certain hunting seasons like deer firearms and bow hunting. The bill eliminates these time constraints for Dorchester County, effectively allowing hunting throughout the entire day on Sundays during game seasons. The changes will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing hunters in Dorchester County with more flexibility in their Sunday hunting activities. This modification aligns Dorchester County's hunting regulations more closely with those of other Maryland counties like Allegany and Cecil County, which have fewer restrictions on Sunday hunting.
