The Pennsylvania Game Commission is behind new legislation that could offer Hunter-Trapper Education classes in schools.
House Bill 2460 was recently approved by a vote of 180 to 22 in the PA House of Representatives.
The bill calls for the Pennsylvania Game Commission to develop an age-appropriate Hunter-Trapper Education (HTE) Program, including firearm safety instruction, for students in grades 6-12. Schools could choose to incorporate this as an extracurricular class, or as part of an existing course for the purpose of outdoor recreation activity.
Students who successfully complete the course in school would then be eligible to purchase a license, having met the required education.
