This bill amends Title 34 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically regarding the powers and duties of the Pennsylvania Game Commission officers and enforcement officers. It modifies Section 303(c) to clarify that Game Commission officers, employees, or representatives have the authority to enter any property, whether posted or not, only with a valid warrant or under a judicially recognized exception to the warrant requirement. This change aims to ensure that the rights of property owners are respected while allowing enforcement officers to perform their duties effectively.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new subsection (b.2) to Section 901, which explicitly states that enforcement officers must obtain a valid warrant before entering any property, unless a judicially recognized exception applies. This reinforces the requirement for warrants in enforcement actions, aligning with the amendments made in Section 303. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
