The proposed bill would amend section 17-201 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a requirement that at least one member of the game and fish commission must be a cattleman or rancher. This insertion aims to ensure that the commission includes representation from the agricultural community, which is relevant to wildlife management and conservation efforts. Additionally, the bill removes the conjunction "and" before the current stipulation that no two members may be residents of the same county, streamlining the language without altering the meaning.
Overall, the bill updates the composition requirements of the game and fish commission while maintaining the existing structure and appointment process. The current provisions regarding the qualifications of members and the governor's authority to remove a member for specific reasons remain unchanged.
