Reform Pennsylvania's Fishing License Validity Period

       Reform Pennsylvania's Fishing License Validity Period

Currently, Pennsylvania's fishing licenses are valid from January 1st to December 31st of the same year, regardless of when they are purchased. This system is not fair to those who purchase their licenses later in the year, as they do not receive a full year's worth of use. We propose that Pennsylvania change its fishing license validity period to last from the date of purchase until the same date in the following year. This would ensure that everyone gets full value for their license fee.

According to statistics from The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, over a million fishing licenses were sold in 2019 alone. However, there is no data on how many were purchased later in the year and thus did not provide a full year's worth of fishing privileges. By changing this policy, we can ensure fairness for all anglers in our state.

We urge you to support this change and make sure every angler gets what they pay for - a full year’s worth of fishing privileges. Please sign this petition today!
