Bill overview
This bill, the Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Amendment Act, clarifies the application of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) to authentic Alaska Native handicrafts that contain parts of migratory birds. Specifically, it allows for the possession, sale, and transportation of these items without penalty, provided the bird parts were not obtained through wasteful or illegal means. The bill directs the State Department and the Interior Department to work with other treaty nations to ensure consistent interpretation of these rules and to update regulations accordingly.
