Florida’s Amendment 2: Fishing and Hunting Rights on the Ballot

Source: Palm Beach Examiner
by Karl Dickey

“This amendment would enshrine the right to hunt and fish into Florida’s Constitution, in addition to existing Florida statutes dealing with hunting and fishing in the state. The proposed amendment looks 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. … Personally, as I wrote regarding Amendment 1, I will be voting against Amendment 2 as it has multiple potential for unintended consequences, especially when it comes to one’s property rights in the state. It is yet another government-generated proposal looking for a solution to a problem that does not exist; we have effective laws on the books already regarding hunting and fishing.” (04/24/24)
