An Act amending Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in hunting and furtaking licenses, further providing for resident license and fee exemptions.
HB 1507 allows college students enrolled at Pennsylvania institutions to qualify for a resident hunting license. To be eligible, students must provide valid college ID showing enrollment, apply through an issuing agent, and pay standard resident license fees (though they avoid non-resident fees). The exemption applies only for up to four consecutive years of enrollment. This bill directly affects undergraduate and graduate students attending Pennsylvania colleges or universities.
