Bill overview
This bill amends the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to clarify that unintentional harm (incidental take) to migratory birds is also illegal. It directs the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to create regulations allowing for incidental take under specific circumstances and establishes a system for civil penalties and legal action. The bill also creates a fund to support migratory bird conservation efforts and mandates regular reporting to Congress on the status of migratory bird populations and the effectiveness of conservation measures.
