HARRISBURG -- The Pennsylvania Board of Game Commissioners has postponed its meeting, which had been scheduled for July 11 and 12, and will meet instead on Monday, July 28.
The postponement will allow more time for gathering public comment following the recent passage of House Bill 1431, which would repeal Pennsylvania’s Sunday hunting ban. The bill has not yet been signed into law, but is expected to be soon.
The Game Commission intends to add new Sunday hunting opportunities to the established 2025-26 hunting seasons. The Board will deliberate possible additions. It is not yet known how soon the first new opportunities might occur.
The time and complete agenda for the meeting will be posted on the Game Commission’s website, www.pa.gov/pgc.
Public comments will be accepted in person at the July 28 meeting, to be held at the Game Commission’s Harrisburg headquarters, 2001 Elmerton Ave. Registration will begin 45 minutes before the scheduled meeting time. Speakers will be called in the order they register. Public comments offered at Board meetings are limited to five minutes and PowerPoint presentations are not permitted.
Those wishing to submit comments via email can do so at pgcboard@pa.gov.
Those unable to attend the meetings can watch it from home. The meetings will be livestreamed on the Game Commission’s YouTube channel.
