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. However, agencies can still restrict lead use if they determine a decline in wildlife populations is primarily due to it and receive approval from the relevant state’s fish and wildlife agency. The bill aims to maintain access to traditional hunting and fishing methods using lead products, with exceptions for specific circumstances and state-level regulations.
