Bill > HB1614

This bill makes two key changes to Pennsylvania's hunting regulations. First, it modifies Section 2102 by removing the language "[Sundays excepted]" from the existing law, which previously excluded Sundays from hunting regulations when the commission fails to establish new seasons or bag limits. Second, the bill completely repeals Sections 2303 and 2315, which previously prohibited hunting on Sundays with only limited exceptions. These repealed sections had restricted hunting on Sundays and required written permission for hunting on private land during the three permitted Sunday hunting days. By eliminating these restrictions, the bill effectively allows hunting on Sundays without the previous limitations, giving hunters more flexibility in when they can pursue game. The changes will take effect 60 days after the bill's passage, providing time for hunters and wildlife management authorities to adjust to the new regulations.
