US EditionCenturies-Old Sunday Hunting Ban Repealed in Pennsylvania
PENNSYLVANIA, JUL 10 – The repeal ends a 152-year ban to boost hunting participation, strengthen rural economies, and support a $1.6 billion industry with 850,000 licensed hunters, officials said.
- Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro signed the repeal of the 1873 Sunday hunting ban Wednesday in Harrisburg, with the law set to take effect on September 7, 2025.
- Following months of bipartisan debate, House Bill 1431 sponsored by Rep. Mandy Steele was amended and passed both chambers before being signed into law.
- Records indicate no safety incidents since 2019, while hunting contributes over $1.6 billion annually and supports 15,000 jobs in Pennsylvania.
- The Pennsylvania Game Commission will expand Sunday hunting seasons starting this fall, with full implementation of new opportunities in 2025-26, following the law's authorization.
- Pennsylvania joins 39 states with no Sunday hunting limits, boosting local economies and funding conservation efforts nationwide.
