Summary
The bill amends Pennsylvania’s game law to allow the use of semiautomatic rifles for hunting, subject to commission rules. It also gives the Game and Fisheries Commission authority to authorize semiautomatic or magazine shotguns for snow goose hunting during the conservation season, even if the shotgun exceeds the usual two‑shell limit. The changes take effect immediately.
