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 open to hunting and fishing. However, the bill allows for exceptions if wildlife populations are declining in a specific area due to lead use, and if the state approves such regulations. It ensures state laws and wildlife policies are considered when implementing any restrictions on lead ammunition and tackle.
