Bill overview
This bill, the Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Amendment Act, clarifies the application of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to authentic Alaska Native handicrafts. Specifically, it allows for the possession and sale of these items, even if they contain parts of migratory birds, as long as the bird was not taken illegally or wastefully. The bill directs the State Department and the Interior Department to work with other treaty nations to ensure consistent interpretation and requires the Interior Department to update regulations to reflect these changes.
