ADVISORY - DAUPHIN COUNTY - Governor Shapiro to Sign Legislation Repealing Pennsylvania's Outdated Ban on Sunday Hunting

Governor Josh Shapiro will sign House Bill 1431 into law, officially repealing Pennsylvania's outdated ban on Sunday hunting. The Governor will be joined by Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding, key lawmakers, and hunters to mark this historic, bipartisan achievement.
This new law expands recreational opportunities for hunters, makes it easier for Pennsylvania families to spend time hunting together on Sundays, and is expected to boost revenue from new hunting license sales - strengthening wildlife conservation efforts across the Commonwealth.
