Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers on Federal Lands
This act aims to ensure hunters and anglers can continue using lead ammunition and tackle on most federal hunting and fishing lands. Restrictions will only be allowed in specific, limited cases where field data clearly shows a decline in wildlife populations due to lead, and only with state authority approval. This means access to these activities with traditional gear will remain broadly available unless local scientific data justifies changes.
Key points
Prohibits general bans on lead ammunition and fishing tackle on federal hunting and fishing lands.
Allows local bans only if a decline in wildlife population is proven to be caused by lead, consistent with state law and approved by state wildlife departments.
Any local restrictions must be publicly justified and explained in the Federal Register.
