Bill puts hunting, fishing in Constitution

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Hunting and fishing will be a right guaranteed by the Oklahoma Constitution under a measure passed by the state Senate.
A proposed constitutional amendment by Co-President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee adds a new section to the state Constitution giving all Oklahomans the right to hunt, trap, fish and take game and fish.
The legislation would not permit state laws that prohibit anyone from engaging in those activities.
The measure now goes to the House for consideration.
