Proposes constitutional amendment to preserve right of people to fish, hunt, trap and harvest fish and wildlife.
SCR 37 proposes a constitutional amendment to protect New Jersey residents' right to fish, hunt, trap, and harvest wildlife as part of the state's heritage. It would require state wildlife management laws to ensure traditional methods remain available for species historically pursued by these groups. The amendment mandates that managing fish and wildlife must prioritize this access while balancing conservation for future generations. It also specifies that traditional hunting/fishing must be the preferred method for controlling invasive or overpopulated species.
