Update: Assembly Committee Approves Wisconsin Right-To-Hunt Amendment
A Wisconsin Assembly committee approved a proposed constitutional amendment last week guaranteeing the right to hunt and fish in the state.
The Assembly Natural Resources Committee voted 10-0 in favor of the state's "sporting heritage" amendment, which would guarantee the rights to fish, hunt, trap and take game subject only to reasonable restrictions as prescribed by law.
The amendment passed both houses of the Legislature last year. It must be approved by two consecutive Legislatures and approved by voters in a statewide referendum before it can be added to the Wisconsin Constitution. It now goes to the full Assembly for a vote.
