The bill amends Title 34 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes concerning game and wildlife protection, specifically addressing hunting regulations. It modifies Section 2102(b)(2) to remove the prohibition on hunting on Sundays, allowing for the establishment of open seasons and bag limits for game or furbearers without the previous restriction. The bill also repeals Sections 2303 and 2315, which previously prohibited hunting on Sundays and outlined penalties for hunting without written permission on that day.
By eliminating these sections, the bill effectively permits hunting on Sundays, thereby expanding opportunities for hunters in Pennsylvania. The changes aim to streamline hunting regulations and provide more flexibility in hunting seasons, while maintaining the requirement for hunters to secure permission when hunting on private land. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
