Supreme Court of Arkansas
James Peveto v. State of Arkansas; Arkansas Game and Fish Commission; and Pat Fitts, as Director of the Arkansas…
December 2, 2021634 S.W.3d 776
Summary
The court affirmed dismissal of Peveto’s declaratory and injunctive-relief complaint, holding that the challenged fishing regulations do not conflict with amendment 35, section 8 of the Arkansas Constitution. The constitutional provision does not specify the size of a regulatory zone, and Peveto challenged only the area’s size without addressing the Commission’s justification for the restrictions.
