HB 2690 Pennsylvania House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 34 (Game) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in Pennsylvania Game Commission, further providing for powers and duties of commission; in hunting and furtaking licenses, further providing for classes of licenses and for license costs and fees; and making an editorial change.

This bill updates the Pennsylvania Game Commission's authority to set fees for hunting and furtaking licenses by establishing a specific process for public review and legislative oversight. Under the new rules, the commission must publish proposed fee changes, hold a public hearing, and allow at least 30 days for written comments before finalizing any adjustments. The legislation also grants the Senate and House Game and Fisheries Committees the power to disapprove these fee changes within a set timeframe, requiring a two-thirds vote to override a governor's veto if the change is contested. Additionally, the bill clarifies the specific age categories for resident hunting licenses, distinguishing between adult, junior, and senior classifications.
