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 requirements for individuals to answer questions from commission representatives regarding the killing or wounding of game or wildlife, as well as the disposition of carcasses. This deletion applies to sections concerning unlawful activities, the reporting of incidents, and the investigation of game or wildlife transport.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that individuals who kill game or wildlife for protection must report the incident to an officer within 24 hours and ensure the safekeeping of the carcass. While they are still required to be available for interviews, the obligation to answer questions without evasion has been removed. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
