The bill amends Title 34 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically addressing unlawful activities related to game and wildlife protection, as well as the procedures for killing game or wildlife to protect individuals. Key changes include the removal of the requirement for individuals to answer questions from commission representatives regarding the killing or wounding of game or wildlife, as well as the disposition of the carcass. This deletion applies to sections concerning unlawful activities and the reporting process after such incidents.

Additionally, the bill modifies the reporting requirements for individuals who kill game or wildlife for protection. While they must still report the incident to an officer within 24 hours and ensure the safekeeping of the game or wildlife, the obligation to answer questions from the investigating officer without evasion has been removed. These amendments aim to streamline the reporting process and reduce the obligations placed on individuals involved in such incidents. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
