Pennsylvania SB1418 mandates hunting and trapping education for students in grades six through twelve, including firearm safety instruction.

Pennsylvania SB1418 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require the Pennsylvania Game Commission, in consultation with the Department of Education, to develop a model program for age-appropriate hunting and trapping education. This program must include firearm safety instruction and be made available to all school entities. The instruction must comply with the commission's basic hunter-trapper education course, be taught by a certified instructor, and cannot be held in a school building.
