State Rep. Ron Miller (R-Jacobus) has been named Republican chairman of the House Game and Fisheries Committee.

“Hunting and fishing are big business in our state, and Pennsylvania’s outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen are as passionate about their sports as any of their counterparts in other regions,” Miller said. “I’m looking forward to working with my colleagues on the committee to put forth meaningful legislation that makes these outdoor activities even more enjoyable for those who participate in them.”

The House Game and Fisheries Committee interacts with both the Pennsylvania Game Commission and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, addressing all legislation affecting both groups.  Miller and his fellow committee members are responsible for creating a framework for each commission’s organization and providing language detailing all laws and penalties for violations. 

Miller will be the second York County member on the committee, which already includes state Rep. Keith Gillespie (R-Hellam).

“I congratulate Representative Miller on his new role and responsibilities and look forward to working with him on the House Game and Fish Committee,” commented Gillespie. “I have also had the opportunity to spend time in the field with him and have witnessed firsthand his passion for the outdoors. He will be an asset to the committee, the commissions, and sports and outdoor enthusiasts across the Commonwealth.”

In addition to his chairmanship, Miller serves on the House Transportation Committee, where he is chairman of the Sub-Committee on Aviation, and is co-chairman of the House Republican Policy Committee Task Force on Education and Job Training.
