Bill > HB1153

This bill amends Pennsylvania's Titles 30 (Fish) and 34 (Game) to provide reciprocity for active duty military personnel and disabled veterans when it comes to fishing and hunting licenses. The key provisions are: 1) Active duty military personnel with a valid fishing or hunting license from another state can fish or hunt in Pennsylvania, as long as that state provides the same reciprocal privilege for Pennsylvania's active duty military. 2) Disabled veterans with a valid annual fishing or hunting license from another state can fish or hunt in Pennsylvania, as long as that state provides the same reciprocal privilege for Pennsylvania's disabled veterans. 3) The Pennsylvania Attorney General is given the authority to enter into reciprocity agreements with other states to implement these privileges, and must report to the state legislature on the agreements. The bill is aimed at extending fishing and hunting access to active duty military and disabled veterans across state lines, without requiring them to purchase additional licenses when visiting Pennsylvania.
