              CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY

  proposing an amendment to the constitution, in relation to the right  to
    hunt, trap and fish

    Section  1.  Resolved  (if  the Senate concur), That article 20 of the
  constitution be renumbered article 21 and a new article 20 be  added  to
  read as follows:


                                 ARTICLE XX
                        RIGHT TO HUNT, TRAP AND FISH

    SECTION  1.    HUNTING,  TRAPPING,  AND FISHING AND THE TAKING OF WILD
  ANIMALS, BIRDS AND FISH ARE A VALUED PART OF OUR HERITAGE  AND  WILL  BE
  FOREVER  PRESERVED FOR THE PEOPLE. FISH AND WILDLIFE SHALL BE MANAGED BY
  STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS THAT PROVIDE    PERSONS  WITH  THE  CONTINUED
  OPPORTUNITY  TO  TAKE,  BY TRADITIONAL MEANS AND METHODS, SPECIES TRADI-
  TIONALLY PURSUED BY HUNTERS, ANGLERS AND  TRAPPERS.  FISH  AND  WILDLIFE
  MANAGEMENT,  INCLUDING TAKING, SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH THE STATE'S DUTY
  TO PROTECT THIS HERITAGE AND ITS DUTY TO CONSERVE WILD  ANIMALS,  BIRDS,
  AND FISH, AND SHALL BE SUBJECT TO REASONABLE REGULATION AS PRESCRIBED BY
  STATE STATUTE.
    S  2. Resolved (if the Senate concur), That the foregoing amendment be
  referred to the first regular legislative session  convening  after  the
  next  succeeding  general  election  of members of the Assembly, and, in
  conformity with  section  1  of  article  19  of  the  constitution,  be
  published for 3 months previous to the time of such election.
