Bill Summary
Amending Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in hunting and furtaking licenses, further providing for resident license and fee exemptions.
AI Summary
This bill amends Pennsylvania's game laws to create a new licensing provision for college students attending universities within the state. Specifically, the bill allows college students to be eligible for a resident hunting license if they meet certain conditions: they must apply to an issuing agent or the commission, provide a valid college identification card as proof of enrollment, and pay the required license and issuing agent fees. The bill limits this eligibility to a maximum of four consecutive years, which means a student can obtain a resident hunting license under these terms for up to four years. The provision is designed to make hunting licenses more accessible to college students who are residents of Pennsylvania, ensuring they can participate in hunting activities while studying in the state. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving time for the Pennsylvania Game Commission and licensing agents to prepare for implementing the new rule.
