1. “[W]e point out that § 15-43-240 was enacted before Amendment 35 to the Arkansas Constitution was adopted in 1945. Under the provisions of that amendment, the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission was given full and complete authority to promulgate rules and regulations necessary for the conservation and preservation of all wildlife, including regulations setting penalties for violations. . . . Pursuant to this authority, the Commission promulgated Regulation 18.02, which provides that it is unlawful to hunt or kill any wildlife at night with or without the use of a light. Possible penalties for its violation include a fine of from $250.00 to $1000.00, a jail sentence of up to one year, suspension of hunting privileges of up to two years, and confiscation of all equipment used in the violations. Under the provisions of Amendment 35, these regulations have the effect of law, and courts judicially know and apply such rules and regulations promulgated by administrative agencies pursuant to law. See Johnson v. State, 6 Ark. App. 78 , 638 S.W.2d 686 (1986).”
