HJR 56 -- THE RIGHT TO HUNT AND FISH

SPONSOR: Sharpe (4)

Upon voter approval, this proposed Constitutional amendment guarantees the right of hunters and anglers in the state to engage in hunting and harvesting wildlife and fishing by legal means, subject to duly authorized powers of the Conservation Commission. The amendment does not prevent the General Assembly from enacting laws that limit the rights of convicted violent felons or those deemed by a court to be a danger as a result of a mental disorder or mental infirmity. The amendment also does not modify property rights or trespass laws.

This bill is the same as HJR 87 (2024).
