House Panel Approves Miller’s
Bill To Increase Access To Fishing
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
The House Game and Fisheries
Committee has unanimously ap
proved a bill sponsored by Rep.
Sheila Miller (R-Berks) which
would allow farm families to fish
in lakes and streams on their prop
erty without having to purchase a
fishing license.
The measure also allows farm
families, who own 80 or more
acres and keep their property open
to the public for fishing, to pur
chase a Pennsylvania fishing li
cense for half the regular fee to
fish anywhere in the state.
“House Bill 1512 is a way to
say, ‘thank you,’ to Pennsylva
nia’s farm families for providing
the public with increased access to
fishing in the creeks and ponds on
their farms,” Miller said.
“In return for their support of
the sport. I’m suggesting that the

state allow these individuals to not

without a license, but to have the
privilege of fishing anywhere in

at half the regular cost.”
Miller said the legislation was
suggested to her by the local Farm
Bureau.
The provisions of Miller’s bill
apply to the owners, lessees or
tenants of general farms, truck
farms, commercial orchards, or
commercial nurseries, as well as
their family members and regular
ly hired help. The Pennsylvania
Fish Commission would admin
ister the program which is mod
eled after a similar program, for
farmers who keep their lands open
for public hunting.
Free fishing licenses would be
issued to the qualified individuals
who are Pennsylvania residents.

“As an added benefit to farmers
and their employees, my legisla
ton also contains a provision al
lowing these people to fish with
out a license on lands adjacent to
their farms as long as they have
the written consent of the neigh
boring farm’s owner,” Millet
stressed.
“The lakes, streams, ponds,
creeks and rivers located on the
Commonwelth’s farms arc some
of the best fishing spots in the
state,” Miller said.
“If my legislation is enacted,
more people could have access to
these beautiful and tranquil
areas,” the Lawmaker added.
