An Act amending Titles 30 (Fish) and 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, further providing for organization of commission; and, in Pennsylvania Game Commission, further providing for organization of commission.
HB 746 revises the appointment process for members of Pennsylvania's Fish and Boat Commission and Game Commission. It requires sportsmen's groups in each district to nominate candidates, allows individual sportsmen to vote for nominees within 30 days, and directs the Governor to appoint from the top vote-getters (or fourth through sixth if refused). The bill mandates legislative confirmation by committees within five days, with specific rules for handling legislative opposition or delays. This directly affects commission members, sportsmen's groups, individual sportsmen who vote, and the Governor's appointment authority.
