An Act amending Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Pennsylvania Game Commission, further providing for organization of commission; in game or wildlife protection, further providing for report to commission officer and for surrender of carcass to commission officer; in hunting and furtaking, further providing for the offense of trespass on private property while hunting; and, in special licenses and permits, providing for agriculture access permit list.
This bill proposes changes to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, including increasing the number of commissioners to ten and adding a specific member to represent agricultural interests. It requires hunters to report kills within 24 hours and mandates the surrender of big game carcasses to commission officers or designated processors. Additionally, the legislation creates a permit list that connects licensed hunters with private landowners to facilitate hunting for crop damage control, while also establishing rules for trespassing on private property while hunting.
