Senate of Pennsylvania
Session of 2023 - 2024 Regular Session

MEMORANDUM

Posted: December 6, 2022 10:04 AM
From: Senator Daniel Laughlin
To: All Senate members
Subject: Repealing Sunday Hunting Prohibition in Pennsylvania
 
In the near future, I will be re-introducing Senate Bill 607 of last session. This legislation will completely remove the prohibition on Sundays available for hunting and trapping and would leave all wildlife management decisions to the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Currently, the law dictates which Sundays are open to hunting, and in certain cases, which species. Act 107 of 2019 authorized the Game Commission to implement three Sundays for hunting.

In 2020, the Game Commission began approving the three Sundays which remain extremely successful and exceptionally safe. 

Please join me in supporting this important piece of legislation to completely remove the prohibition on Sunday hunting and allow the Game Commission to increase hunting and trapping opportunities in Pennsylvania. 
 


Introduced as SB67
