The Joint Resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Iowa that would establish the right of the people to hunt, fish, trap, and harvest wildlife using traditional methods. This right would be subject to reasonable laws enacted by the General Assembly and rules adopted by the Natural Resource Commission aimed at promoting wildlife conservation, managing natural resources for public use, and ensuring the sustainability of these activities for future generations. Additionally, the resolution emphasizes that public hunting, fishing, trapping, and harvesting are preferred methods for managing and controlling wildlife.

The proposed amendment also clarifies that it will not alter existing laws related to eminent domain, trespass, property rights, or water resources. If adopted, the amendment will be published and referred to the next General Assembly for consideration, after which it will be submitted to the electorate for ratification.
