Bill > HB2119

This bill amends Title 34 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically concerning the killing of game or wildlife to protect property. The key provision revises the definition of "person" who is authorized to kill game or wildlife under certain circumstances. Previously, the definition was limited to individuals actively involved in cultivating land for crops, fruit orchards, or nurseries, or their family members, household members, or employees assisting with cultivation, or those with a commission permit. The bill expands this definition to include owners or lessees of a "normal agricultural operation" as defined by the Right-to-Farm Law, their assisting family members, domiciled household members, and employees who regularly assist with the operation, as well as any other person authorized by a commission permit. This change aims to broaden the scope of individuals who can legally protect their agricultural property from damage by game or wildlife.
