These outdoor related amendments are 2 of the 14 proposed amendments that will be on the ballot Nov. 4th, 2014.

Proposed Amendment No. 8
Act No. 434 Senate Bill No. 128, Regular Session, 2013, By Senator Allain and Representatives Abramson, Barras, Berthelot, Billiot, Stuart Bishop, Broadwater, Henry Burns, Tim Burns, Burrell, Carmody, Champagne, Cox, Dove, Franklin, Garofalo, Gisclair, Guinn, Harrison, Henry, Hensgens, Hill, Jones, Lambert, Nancy Landry, Lopinto, Montoucet, Jim Morris, Reynolds, Schexnayder, St. Germain, Thibaut and Whitney

Do you support an amendment to establish the Artificial Reef Development Fund in the state treasury by depositing in to the fund monies that have been received by the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries in the form of grants, donations, or other assistance to provide funding for programs dedicated to managing an artificial reef system, the wild seafood certification program, and inshore fisheries habitat enhancement projects? (Adds Article VII, Section 10.11)






Proposed Amendment No. 12
Act No. 437 House Bill No. 426, Regular Session, 2013, By Representative Armes

Do you support an amendment to require that two members of the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission be electors from parishes located north of the parishes of Beauregard, Allen, Evangeline, Avoyelles, and Pointe Coupee? (Amends Article IX, Section 7(A))

I'm all for No. 8.

I don't really have much of an opinion on No.12.

I'm like y'all. I support No. 8... I don't know what hell no. 12 is even about.

ETA: About No. 12

quote:

Present Constitution provides for the membership of the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission, with three members who are electors of the coastal parishes and representatives of the commercial fishing and fur industries, and four members who are electors from the state at large other than representatives of the commercial fishing and fur industries, for a total of seven members. Proposed Constitutional Amendment retains the total number of seven members and changes the membership of electors from the state at large other than representatives of the commercial fishing and fur industries from four to two, and provides for two members who are electors appointed at large from the parishes north of Beauregard, Allen, Evangeline, Avoyelles, and Pointe Coupee parishes.

I don't know enough about how this commission is set up. I think I would rather them establish regions and each region have a representative or something

Sounds like they're trying to make sure the mentioned parishes get equal representation among the commission.

Yeah, it sounds like it spreads the commission evenly across the sate as opposed to 4 or 5 from the coastal parishes and 2 from anywhere else in Louisiana.

I'm leaning support.
