Sunday Hunting Ban Nearly Lifted; Legislators Send Bill to Gov. Shapiro

  • Pennsylvania General Assembly approved House Bill 1431 to repeal the 1873 blue law ban on Sunday hunting, now awaiting Gov. Josh Shapiro’s signature.
  • Dating to 1873, Pennsylvania’s blue laws barred Sunday hunting, impacting rural residents’ schedules and facing nearly a decade of failed repeal efforts.
  • 2024 hunting licenses generated $41.9 million, with increased trespass penalties and Farm Bureau support for landowner protections.
  • If signed by Shapiro, the Pennsylvania Game Commission may open Sundays, boosting hunting participation and tourism, supporters say.
  • Beyond reinstating Sundays, the repeal modernizes blue laws, authorizes additional hunting days, with implementation pending approval by the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
