AZ New Law Right to Hunt and Fish

 This was in the latest game and fish newsletter:

One of the propositions facing Arizona voters on the Nov. 2, 2010 election ballot is Proposition 109, which, if passed, would amend the state’s constitution to make hunting and fishing a constitutional right in Arizona.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department and its employees are precluded by law from advocating for or against state ballot propositions while on state time or using state resources. The Game and Fish Commission, as the policy-setting board overseeing the department, is not under the same legal restriction and may take a position or advocate on one side or the other.

Due to public interest regarding Proposition 109, the department is providing the link below to information about the proposition contained in the 2010 “Ballot Propositions and Judicial Performance Review Publicity Pamphlet” posted on the Arizona Secretary of State’s website. This information includes the text of the proposed amendment, analysis by the Arizona Legislative Council, and arguments “for” and “against” the proposition that have been submitted by different individuals and organizations, including an argument in favor of the proposition provided by the Arizona Game and Fish Commission.
