A resolution to propose to the people of the State of California an amendment to the Constitution of the State, by adding Section 32 to Article I thereof, relating to hunting and taking game.

The California Constitution authorizes the Legislature to delegate to the Fish and Game Commission powers relating to the protection and propagation of fish and game. Existing statutory law delegates to the commission the power to regulate the taking or possession of birds, mammals, fish, amphibia, and reptiles in accordance with prescribed laws. Under existing law, the Department of Fish and Game exercises various functions with regard to the taking of fish and game.
