The bill amends Title 34 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding resident hunting licenses and fee exemptions. It introduces a new subsection under Section 2706 that specifically addresses college students. According to the new provisions, college students attending institutions within Pennsylvania can qualify for a resident hunting license if they meet certain criteria, including applying to an issuing agent or the commission, providing a valid college identification card as proof of enrollment, and paying the required license and issuing agent fees.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that eligible college students can receive these license and fee exemptions for a maximum of four consecutive years. This amendment aims to facilitate access to hunting licenses for college students, thereby promoting outdoor activities among the youth in Pennsylvania. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
