This bill will permit licensed commercial game preserves to operate on Sundays. The bill limits Sunday operations to commercial facilities only within the seasons established by the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. This bill does not allow for Sunday hunting of wild game or put-and-take hunting by entities other than commercially-operated facilities. This bill is necessary for commercial game preserves to compete with similar operations in adjoining States, where Sunday operations are allowed.

An Act To Amend Title 7 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Commercial Shooting Preserves.
