An Act amending the act of March 10, 1949 (P.L.30, No.14), known as the Public School Code of 1949, in terms and courses of study, providing for hunting and trapping education; and imposing duties on the Pennsylvania Game Commission.

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Public School Code that obligates the Pennsylvania Game Commission, working with the Department of Education, to create a model hunting and trapping curriculum for students in grades six through twelve. Schools can provide the program as an optional class or within an existing course, and parents may request that their child be excused without penalty. Completing the program would count as the state’s basic hunter‑trapper education needed for a hunting license.
