Relates to a constitutional right to hunt, trap and fish
This bill proposes adding a constitutional right to hunt, trap, and fish to the state constitution. It states that these activities are part of the state's heritage and must be preserved, requiring state laws to manage wildlife while allowing traditional hunting, fishing, and trapping methods. The bill directly affects hunters, anglers, trappers, and state wildlife agencies, as it mandates that all management must balance preserving this heritage with conservation. Key provisions require state regulations to consistently protect both public access to these activities and wildlife populations, subject to reasonable state rules. The amendment must be referred to the next legislative session after the upcoming election for further consideration.
