SB 800 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 30 (Fish) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in fiscal affairs, further providing for establishment and use of Fish Fund and for establishment and use of Boat Fund.

SB 800 amends Pennsylvania's fish and boating laws to clarify how fees collected from fishing and boating activities fund specific conservation efforts. It adds provisions allowing the Fish Fund to cover expenses related to boats/boating that benefit fish and fishing, and the Boat Fund to cover expenses related to fish/fishing that benefit boats/boating. The bill requires the Fish and Boat Commission to track and report all spending under these new provisions annually to legislative committees by January 31. These changes ensure transparency in fund usage while directing resources toward overlapping conservation priorities for both fish and boating infrastructure.
