VERY RARELY THESE DAYS CAN YOU FIND COMMON GROUND – HERE IS SOMETHING WE CAN ALL AGREE ON
154 to 1
A YES vote would add the right to hunt and fish to the Florida State Constitution, aligning Florida with about two dozen other states that already protect these activities. This constitutional amendment would make it more difficult for legislators to pass laws banning or restricting hunting and fishing without changing the authority granted to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission under Section 9 of Article IV.
Additionally, it would promote hunting and fishing as key methods for managing wildlife populations, saving the state millions in revenue and protecting the environment from other methods that could use substances such as poisons to control wildlife populations.
