This bill amends Title 34 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, focusing on unlawful activities related to game and wildlife protection, hunting methods, and special permits for disabled persons. Key changes include the stipulation that it is unlawful to place any salt, bait, or food to attract game or wildlife unless approved by the commission. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the use of artificial or natural bait is prohibited unless authorized by commission regulations, and it establishes a 30-day waiting period after the removal of such bait before hunting can resume in the area.

Furthermore, the bill introduces provisions for disabled persons, allowing those with a valid disabled person permit to hunt deer using bait on private land, provided they have the landowner's permission. It also specifies that individuals without a disabled person permit cannot hunt within 200 yards of baited areas, maintaining this prohibition for 30 days after the bait's removal. These amendments aim to enhance wildlife management and ensure compliance with hunting regulations while accommodating the needs of disabled hunters.
