On Monday, the House voted 142-61 to concur with Senate amendments and pass unrestricted Sunday hunting. House Bill 1431 effectively repeals restrictions on Sunday hunting, allowing Pennsylvania to join the overwhelming majority of states without restrictions. The bill now goes to Governor Josh Shapiro for his signature.
This legislation preserves Pennsylvania’s sporting heritage by increasing opportunities for hunters across the Commonwealth. This legislation is a vital hunter recruitment tool that will assist in attracting the next generation of hunters. With time at a premium for working families, allowing this extra weekend day is critical. This is an opportunity for young Pennsylvanians to be introduced to hunting and begin their lifelong appreciation and love for Pennsylvania’s sporting heritage.
