Join the Harveys Lake Rod & Gun Club in opposing the actions taken by the State Senate on August 30, 2023 when a last-minute amendment was added to HB 1300 that if enacted, would transfer $150 million from the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s (PGC) Game Fund to another fund. This transfer of $150 million represents about 30% of the Game Fund’s value.
The PGC operates independently; it does not receive General Funds through the state budget process or funding via state tax dollars. The Game Fund is funded through the sale of hunting licenses, tags, land sales, resources sales, royalties and by excise taxes on hunting and shooting supplies as established by the Pittman-Robertson Act (PR). This transfer puts at risk the agency’s eligibility for present & future federal funding through PR.
Call or write your Legislator and request them to remove the Game Fund amendment from HB1300.
