House Committee Roll Call Votes

Would amend Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to add a penalty to Section 2164 (Unlawful taking and possession of protected birds) and a penalty to Section 2167 (Endangered or threatened species). More specifically, this legislation would amend Section 2164 to provide that a summary offense punishable by a fine of $2,000 be added to other penalties associated with killing a bald or golden eagle. In addition, it would provide that the killing of a protected bird be graded one degree higher than the current penalties provided under Section 2167.
