Introduced Text

Establishes a constitutional right to hunt and fish in Ohio.

The bill proposes to amend the Ohio Constitution to enshrine the right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife as a valued part of the state's heritage. This right, including the use of traditional methods, is to be preserved for the public good and subject to state laws and rules. The amendment aims to promote wildlife conservation and management, and designates hunting and fishing as preferred means of wildlife control. The change would take effect immediately if approved by voters.
