Proposes constitutional amendment to preserve right of people to fish, hunt, trap and harvest fish and wildlife.
ACR 125 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would add a new right to New Jersey's state constitution, protecting the people's ability to fish, hunt, trap, and harvest wildlife using traditional methods. If approved, it would require state laws managing fish and wildlife to prioritize these activities while ensuring conservation for future generations. The amendment specifically mandates that traditional hunting and fishing methods remain the preferred approach for controlling invasive or overpopulated species. This would apply to all New Jersey residents who participate in these activities, though the amendment itself requires voter approval to take effect.
