Bill overview
This bill prevents the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture from banning or regulating the use of lead ammunition and tackle on federal lands and waters managed by the Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Forest Service. It allows for restrictions only if a specific unit of land experiences a decline in wildlife populations primarily due to lead use, and those restrictions are approved by the state where the land is located. The bill aims to maintain access for hunters and anglers by limiting federal regulations on lead ammunition and tackle, with exceptions for specific circumstances.
