The prohibition on Sunday hunting is in state law, and the Game Commission does not have the authority to change it. The Board has passed a resolution encouraging the General Assembly to give the Game Commission the authority to determine for which species Sunday hunting should be lawful, however, no legislation has passed.
Whether the Board could implement Sunday hunting in time for the 2019/2020 season depends on if/when any legislation is signed into law and takes effect. This is because implementing Sunday hunting would require an official action by the Board of Commissioners. The Commissioners would need to vote on a proposal once, then allow for public comment, then vote on it a second time.
