Default Proposition 6--The Right to Fish, Hunt and Harvest In Texas

Make sure to vote in November!!!

The Texas Right to Hunt, Fish and Harvest Amendment, Proposition 6 is on the November 3, 2015 ballot in Texas as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. The measure, upon voter approval, would provide for a right to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife, including by the use of "traditional methods." The measure would also designate hunting and fishing as "preferred methods of managing and controlling wildlife."[1]

The proposal contains language about what the amendment cannot be construed to mean. The right to hunt, fish and harvest does not affect current laws related to trespass, eminent domain or property rights, nor does the right affect the legislature's power to authorize municipalities to regulate firearm discharge in populated areas.

The amendment's approval by voters would make Texas the 19th state to enact a constitutional right to hunt and fish, and the eighth state to do so during the 2010s.

The measure was introduced into the Texas Legislature by Sen. Brandon Creighton (R-4) as Senate Joint Resolution 22.[2]

Text of measure

Ballot title
The proposed ballot title is:[1]

“ The constitutional amendment recognizing the right of the people to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife subject to laws that promote wildlife conservation.[3] ”
Constitutional changes
See also: Article 1, Texas Constitution
The proposed amendment would add a Section 34 to Article 1 of the Texas Constitution.[1] The following text would be added by the proposed measure's approval:

Sec. 34.
(a) The people have the right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife, including by the use of traditional methods, subject to laws or regulations to conserve and manage wildlife and preserve the future of hunting and fishing.
(b) Hunting and fishing are preferred methods of managing and controlling wildlife.
(c) This section does not affect any provision of law relating to trespass, property rights, or eminent domain.
(d) This section does not affect the power of the legislature to authorize a municipality to regulate the discharge of a weapon in a populated area in the interest of public safety.[3]


Background

As of 2015, eighteen states have constitutional amendments providing for the right to hunt and fish. Vermont was the first state to constitutionalize such a right in 1777. The other sixteen states have all adopted right to hunt and fish amendments since 1996. The following is a list of states with constitutional amendments establishing the right to hunt and fish:[4]

1777: Vermont
1996: Alabama
1998: Minnesota
2000: North Dakota
2000: Virginia
2003: Wisconsin
2004: Louisiana
2004: Montana
2006: Georgia
2008: Oklahoma
2010: Arkansas
2010: South Carolina
2010: Tennessee
2012: Idaho
2012: Kentucky
2012: Nebraska
2012: Wyoming
2014: Mississippi
California and Rhode Island have constitutional amendments guaranteeing the right to fish, but not to hunt. Florida and New Hampshire have statutes proclaiming a right to hunt and fish, but not constitutional amendments.[5]

Voters in Texas will vote on a right to hunt and fish amendment on November 3, 2015, and voters in Indiana will vote on one in 2016.

This needs to pass!!!! Tell all your friends about this so they go and vote. Sitting back and hoping enough others vote for it is not enough. Pass the word.
