BILL NUMBER: S3049 TITLE OF BILL : CONCURRENT RESOLUTION OF THE SENATE AND ASSEMBLY proposing an amendment to the constitution, in relation to the right to hunt, trap and fish PURPOSE : This proposed constitutional amendment would provide within the New York State Constitution for a right of the people to hunt, trap and fish. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS : A new Article Twenty would be added to the state constitution to ensure the right of the law-abiding citizen to hunt, trap and fish subject to reasonable regulation by the state. JUSTIFICATION : The roots of hunting, fishing and trapping go deep into the soil of our American experience. A way of life to Native Americans and European settlers and sources of food and commerce, they have since matured beyond their subsistence origins to become revered outdoor pastimes enjoyed by 1.7 million New Yorkers and visitors for the pleasure, challenge, companionship, food and additional income that our outdoor sporting traditions provide.
