Arkansas Legislature Debates Game and Fish Commission Change
The Arkansas House and Senate clash over Constitutional Amendment No 48. The amendment would strip the Game and Fish Commission of authority and place it under an independent body funded by hunting and fishing fees. The House resists, delaying the biennial appropriation, while the Senate has passed it. A related note recalls past wildfire policy disputes and warns voters about repealing the amendment. Rep Joha Bethell of Prairie County warns that the measure will be repealed if the commission does not soften its stance. The article urges lawmakers to focus on current duties and postpone further action until November election day.
