The joint resolution proposes an amendment to Section 9 of Article IV of the Florida State Constitution, which outlines the structure and appointment process for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). The amendment seeks to increase the number of commission members from seven to nine and specifies the appointment process for these members. The appointments will be made by various state departments, including the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Department of Environmental Protection, and the Governor, with specific qualifications for each appointee. For instance, the Department of Agriculture will appoint two members who are either ranchers or farmers, while the Department of Environmental Protection will appoint a hunter or angler and a conservationist.

Additionally, the resolution includes provisions to ensure ethical standards among commission members, such as prohibiting individuals who have made significant political donations from being appointed and requiring annual ethics training. The commission will maintain its regulatory and executive powers over wildlife and aquatic life, with the legislature responsible for appropriating revenue from related license fees for conservation efforts. The proposed amendment will be submitted to voters for approval or rejection in the next general election or a special election authorized by law.
