CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA A Resolution: Amend the Constitution so as to Provide that the Tradition of Fishing and Hunting and the Taking of Fish and Wildlife Shall be Preserved for the People and Shall be Managed by Law and Regulation for the Public Good; Provide for Submission of this Amendment for Ratification or Rejection; and for Other Purposes

The resolution sanctioned a state-wide referendum to amend the Georgia Constitution. The referendum will appear on the general election ballot in November 2006. Although Georgia Code section 27-1-3 recognizes the right to hunt and fish and the importance of the tradition of hunting and fishing to the State of Georgia, proponents contend that the resolution is a necessary step given the potential future threat. The proposed amendment preserves the tradition of hunting and fishing for the people of Georgia and provides management by law and regulation for the public good
