Last Friday, April 28, House Joint Resolution 1157, the constitutional amendment protecting the right to hunt and fish in Florida, passed its final hurdle and will now be placed on the 2024 ballot. HJR 1157 unanimously passed the House and passed the Senate 38 to 1.
Listen to Sportsmen’s Alliance Vice President of Government Affairs, Todd Adkins, explain the importance of this amendment on Florida radio.
The language on the ballot will read as follows:
ARTICLE I, SECTION 28
RIGHT TO FISH AND HUNT—Proposing an amendment to the State Constitution to preserve forever fishing and hunting, including by the use of traditional methods, as a public right and preferred means of responsibly managing and controlling fish and wildlife. Specifies that the amendment does not limit the authority granted to the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission under Section 9 of Article IV of the State Constitution.
Please share this message with your family, friends and fellow sportsmen that next year sportsmen will have the chance to vote to protect the Sunshine State’s right to hunt and fish in perpetuity.
