Overview: H 1016, "An Act relative to hunting on Sunday", has a hearing scheduled for October 21, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM in room A-1. The bill was introduced on February 27, 2025.
Purpose and Intent: The main purpose of this bill is to allow hunting on Sundays in the state. Currently, Sunday hunting is prohibited, and this legislation seeks to lift that restriction to provide more opportunities for hunters.
Key Provisions:
- Repeals the existing prohibition on hunting on Sundays
- Allows hunting of all legal game species on Sundays, subject to the same regulations and restrictions as other days of the week
Affected Parties and Impacts: This bill would primarily affect hunters and hunting-related businesses, as it would expand the number of days available for hunting activities. It may also have some impact on landowners and wildlife management efforts, as increased hunting pressure could affect animal populations and habitat.
Procedural and Timeline Considerations: H 1016 is currently scheduled for a public hearing in the relevant committee on October 21, 2025. After the hearing, the committee will likely vote on whether to advance the bill to the full House for consideration.
