REFERRED TO COMMITTEE ON RULES, JUNE 25, 1979
In the House of Representatives, June 25, 1979
1 WHEREAS, The number of Fish and Game Enforcement Officers are
2 limited and cannot spot every violation; and
3 WHEREAS, Most sportsmen are good law abiding citizens who are
4 harmed by the few who violate the Fish and Game Laws; and
5 WHEREAS, The Help Our Wildlife (HOW) Program enlists the aid
6 of citizens in an effort to increase the effectiveness of the
7 enforcement agents. Hunters, fishermen and hikers are asked to
8 carry a wallet size form that is used to report violations
9 observed by the citizen. This voluntary cooperative plan,
10 already in operation in about two dozen states, does a far
11 better job of protecting our wildlife from abuse; therefore be
12 it
13 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives urges the
14 Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish
15 Commission to adopt the Help Our Wildlife (HOW) Program used by
16 many other states, including New York; and be it further
1 RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be sent to the
2 Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish
3 Commission.
