Bernstine Announces Free Fish and Boat Safety Seminar

April 17, 2026

BUTLER – With the summer fishing and boating season quickly approaching, Rep. Aaron Bernstine (R-Butler/Lawrence) will be hosting a free Fish and Boat Safety Seminar to help residents prepare for a safe and successful outdoor recreation.

The event will take place on Wednesday, April 22, from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Penn Township Municipal Building, 157 E. Airport Road, Butler.

“As we look forward to spending time on Pennsylvania’s lakes and rivers, safety must be a top priority,” said Bernstine. “This seminar will give families, anglers and boaters the tools they need to stay safe and make the most of their time on the water this summer.”

Residents will receive an overview of Pennsylvania’s boating and fishing laws, including licensing requirements, seasonal regulations and boating under the influence (BUI) laws. Additional topics will include safe fish handling and best practices for navigating changing water conditions, such as fast-moving currents and summer storms.

The seminar is free and open to the public. No RSVP is required.

Residents who plan to attend or have questions may contact Bernstine’s district office at 724-752-2120.
