'Right to hunt and fish' Amendment 2 passes in Florida, will be added to state Constitution

Voters in Florida have overwhelmingly approved Amendment 2, a measure that adds a "right to hunt and fish" to the state constitution.

With more than 60% of the vote, the amendment will become part of the Florida Constitution on January 1, 2023.

The amendment was placed on the ballot by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), which argued that it was necessary to protect the rights of hunters and anglers in the state.

Supporters of the amendment said it would ensure that hunting and fishing would remain legal in Florida, even if the federal government or other entities tried to restrict them.

Opponents of the amendment argued that it was unnecessary and that it could lead to increased hunting and fishing, which could harm wildlife populations.

The amendment passed with support from both Republicans and Democrats, and it is expected to have a significant impact on hunting and fishing in Florida.

Here are some of the key provisions of Amendment 2:

• The right to hunt and fish is a fundamental right of the people of Florida.
• The state shall not infringe on the right to hunt and fish, except for the protection of public safety or the environment.
• The FWC shall have the authority to regulate hunting and fishing in a manner that is consistent with the right to hunt and fish.

The passage of Amendment 2 is a victory for hunters and anglers in Florida. It will help to protect their rights and ensure that they can continue to enjoy their favorite pastimes.
