Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2013 - 2014 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: May 2, 2014 11:56 AM
From: Senator Scott E. Hutchinson
To: All Senate members
Subject: Modern Sporting Rifles for Coyote and Woodchuck Hunting
 
In the near future I intend to introduce legislation amending Title 34 (Game) to allow for the limited use of semi-automatic sporting rifles for hunting coyotes and woodchucks. My legislation would suspend the use of these firearms for varmint and predator hunting when those seasons overlap the regular seasons for deer, bear and turkey.

The fact is, most modern sporting rifles are chambered for common hunting cartridges and Pennsylvania is one of the few states that disallow these firearms for hunting of any kind.

If you have any questions about this legislation, please contact Justin Leventry in my office by calling 787-9684.


Introduced as SB1402
