HB 2083 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

game and fish commission; membership

HB 2083 amends Arizona's Game and Fish Commission membership rules. It requires the governor to appoint five commission members who must include at least one cattleman or rancher, with no more than three from the same political party and no two members from the same county. The bill also specifies that members serve five-year terms, receive compensation from the game and fish fund, and must attend at least quarterly meetings. This bill directly affects how the commission is structured and who can serve on it, without changing wildlife management policies.
