SUNDAY HUNTING BILL PASSES HOUSE
Legislation that would fully repeal Pennsylvania’s Sunday hunting ban passed the state House of Representatives today and now heads to the Senate for consideration.
Introduced by Rep. Mandy Steele, D-Allegheny, House Bill 1431 was approved by the House Game and Fisheries Committee June 3 and sent to the Senate today by a vote of 131-72.
This bill is identical to Senate Bill 67, introduced in March by Sen. Dan Laughlin, R-Erie. The Game Commission supports both bills, either of which would end the state’s prohibition on Sunday hunting and allow the Game Commission to include Sundays when establishing hunting seasons annually.
