Prohibition of M-44 Cyanide Devices on Public Lands

This new law, named "Canyon's Law," aims to prohibit the use of M-44 devices, also known as "cyanide bombs," on public lands. These devices, containing highly toxic sodium cyanide, are used to kill predators but pose a risk to people, pets, and non-target wildlife. The law mandates the removal of all existing M-44 devices from public lands within 30 days of its enactment, enhancing public safety and environmental protection.
Key points
Complete prohibition of M-44 devices (also known as "cyanide bombs") on all public lands in the United States.
All federal, state, and county agencies that previously deployed these devices must remove them from public lands within 30 days.
The law aims to protect people, pets, and wildlife from accidental poisoning by sodium cyanide, the active ingredient in M-44s.
