The proposed Senate Joint Resolution seeks to amend the Constitution of the State of Iowa by establishing a constitutional right for the people to hunt, fish, trap, and harvest wildlife. This right is to be exercised using traditional methods, while still adhering to laws enacted by the general assembly aimed at preserving the future of these activities. Additionally, the resolution emphasizes that public hunting, fishing, trapping, and harvesting of wildlife should be considered a preferred method for managing and controlling wildlife populations.
Furthermore, the amendment clarifies that it will not alter any existing laws related to eminent domain, trespass, property rights, or water resources. If the resolution is adopted, it will be published and referred to the next general assembly for consideration, ultimately requiring ratification by the electorate.
