This bill amends Title 34 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically focusing on hunting and furtaking licenses. It introduces a new Military Event License Exemption, which allows eligible members of the armed services and disabled veterans to participate in certain hunting activities without paying the usual license and permit fees. Eligible individuals include veterans with a service-connected disability of 30% or more, active duty members, reserve duty members, and Purple Heart recipients. The bill outlines the process for obtaining a Military Event License Exemption Permit, which is required for events aimed at the rehabilitation or enjoyment of these individuals, and sets specific conditions and limitations for such events.

Additionally, the bill modifies the regulations surrounding regulated hunting grounds permits by allowing permit holders to remove birds killed under their permit without adhering to the usual tagging requirements, provided they label the package with specific information about the birds. This change aims to streamline the process for permit holders while ensuring proper documentation is maintained. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
