Bill Summary
AN ACT amending section 17-201, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to the game and fish commission.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding the Game and Fish Commission, which oversees the state's wildlife. The key change is that the commission, which is appointed by the governor and currently has a requirement that no two members can be from the same county, will now also require that at least one member be a cattleman or rancher, in addition to being well-informed about wildlife and conservation. The bill also removes the previous stipulation that no more than three members can be from the same political party, though it retains the requirement for members to be residents of different counties and be knowledgeable about wildlife.
