Sunday Hunting Prohibition Repealed in Pennsylvania
After years of effort, House Bill 1431, sponsored by Representative Mandy Steele, has officially passed both chambers of the Pennsylvania General Assembly and was signed into law this week by Governor Josh Shapiro. This legislation fully repeals the longstanding prohibition on Sunday hunting, which was one of the last vestiges of Pennsylvania's “blue laws,” designed to promote religious observance and rest by restricting certain activities on Sundays.
