An Act amending Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in game or wildlife protection, further providing for regulations; and, in hunting and furtaking, repealing provisions relating to hunting on Sunday prohibited and to hunting on Sunday without written permission.
HB 1614 repeals Pennsylvania's longstanding ban on Sunday hunting (except for specific exceptions like fox/coyote hunting and three designated days per year) and removes the requirement for hunters to obtain written landowner permission to hunt on those permitted Sundays. The bill directly affects hunters on private land during the three annual Sunday hunting days authorized by wildlife officials. Key provisions eliminate Sections 2303 and 2315 of the Game Code, which previously prohibited Sunday hunting and mandated written permission for private land hunting on those days. This change streamlines hunting access during designated seasons without altering the existing three-day allowance.
