The bill amends Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically Section 2322(a)(1), which outlines the prohibited devices and methods for hunting big game. The amendment allows the use of an air rifle in addition to the previously permitted centerfire or muzzle-loading firearms and bows and arrows for hunting, with the exception of wild turkey. Furthermore, the bill states that any existing regulations that conflict with this new provision are abrogated. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
