HB 2671 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in hunting and furtaking, further providing for unlawful devices and methods; and, in hunting and furtaking licenses, further providing for denial or revocation of licenses and for period of revocation.

This Pennsylvania bill expands rules against hunting and trapping by explicitly banning the use of devices that involve beating game or wildlife. It also strengthens license penalties by allowing officials to revoke hunting or trapping privileges for specific serious violations, including the new beating prohibition, hunting while intoxicated, entering safety zones, damaging property, shooting at people, and failing to assist after an incident. Additionally, the law permits license revocation for individuals convicted of aggravated cruelty to animals in Pennsylvania or similar offenses in other states. The commission retains the authority to set the specific duration for any license revocations.
