PA Sunday Hunting Bill One Step Closer to Becoming Law, Passes Senate
- The Pennsylvania state Senate passed House Bill 1431 on June 26, advancing the repeal of the ban on Sunday hunting in the state.

- The bill now returns to the House for final approval before going to Gov. Josh Shapiro, who will decide its enactment and the Game Commission can then begin implementation, though changes won't happen overnight.
