The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Selection Amendment may appear on the November 6, 2012 ballot in the state of Arkansas as an initiated constitutional amendment. The measure would change the way Game and Fish Commission members are selected. It would also reduce the commission's conservation tax. According to reports, the group behind the measure is Sportsmen 2010.^[1]

Path to the ballot

In order for supporters to place the measure on the ballot, 78,133 valid signatures must be collected from state residents and submitted by the July 6, 2012 petition drive deadline.

Before signatures can be collected, however, wording of the ballot proposal must be approved by the Arkansas Attorney General. On December 27, 2011, Dustin McDaniel rejected the wording of the measure, due to ambiguity.^[1]
