House Joint Resolution C, introduced by Rep. DeSana on February 12, 2025, proposes an amendment to the Michigan state constitution to recognize the right of citizens to hunt, fish, trap, and harvest wildlife. This amendment aims to honor the state's heritage and promote the sustainable management of its natural resources. It stipulates that these rights are subject to regulations that ensure sound wildlife conservation and management practices, while also allowing for reasonable opportunities for citizens to exercise these rights.

The resolution emphasizes that public hunting, fishing, and trapping are preferred methods for managing nonthreatened species and permits the use of traditional harvesting methods. Importantly, the proposed amendment does not alter existing laws related to trespass, private property rights, or firearms unrelated to hunting, nor does it affect the state's sovereign immunity. The amendment will be submitted to the voters of Michigan at the next general election for approval.
