The resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State of West Virginia, specifically adding a new section, designated as section 23, to Article III, which addresses the rights of citizens to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife. This amendment aims to affirm that citizens have the right to engage in these activities using traditional methods, while also ensuring that such rights are subject to regulations established by the Legislature and the Division of Natural Resources for the purposes of wildlife conservation and management. Importantly, the amendment clarifies that it does not alter existing laws related to trespass or property rights.

The resolution calls for the proposed amendment, referred to as "Amendment No. 1" or the "Right to Hunt and Fish Amendment," to be presented to voters during the next general election in 2026. The summarized purpose of the amendment is to guarantee the right of West Virginia citizens to hunt and fish, while also emphasizing the importance of wildlife conservation through legislative and regulatory measures.
