Cox, Environmental CenterBryce Decker, GeographyDon Johnson, HistoryMargaret Kimmerer, Environmental CenterPeter J. Rappa, Environmental CenterRL:0295Proposal No. 482 would revise certain provisions in the Constitutionrelating to conservation and development of resources; in essence shiftingthe placements of the provisions and strengthening them somewhat.Conservation and development of natural beauty, and objects and places ofhistorical or cultural interest would be deleted as a power of the State underArticle VIII. However, 1) Provision for public sightliness would be made aduty as well as a power of the State under Article VIII; 2) Conservation ofobjects and places of historic interest would be made a duty as well as apower of the State under Article X; and 3) The responsibility placed inArticle Xon the Legislature to promote conservation, development, and utili-zation of natural resources of the State, would be transformed to a power andduty of the State to conserve and protect the natural resources.The latter amendment is introduced as a replacement to Section 1 ofArticle X. The combination of conservation, development, and utilization inthe present Section 1 seems to overemphasize development and use sinceconservation in itself means a wise balance of preservation and use. Theproposed Section 1, which clearly includes protection from unreasonabledevelopment as well as development and utilization, would be a desirablesubstitute.AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
