The proposed bill would amend section 17-201 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which governs the composition and appointment of the game and fish commission. Currently, the commission consists of five members appointed by the governor, with restrictions on political party affiliation and residency. The bill would add a requirement that at least one member must be a cattleman or rancher, while maintaining the existing stipulations regarding political party representation and residency.

Additionally, the bill would remove the conjunction "and" from the current statute, which connects the residency requirement to the political party restriction. This change is minor but clarifies the language of the statute. Overall, the bill aims to ensure that the commission includes representation from the cattle and ranching community while preserving the existing structure and appointment process.
