Banning Motor Vehicles for Hunting Predators on Federal Lands.
This act establishes a strict prohibition on using any motor vehicle—including snowmobiles, cars, or aircraft—to intentionally harass, pursue, or kill mammalian predators on most federal lands. Citizens engaging in outdoor activities must adhere to this rule, as violations carry severe criminal penalties, including fines up to $10,000 and up to 5 years in prison. The only exception is using a vehicle to avoid immediate injury or death to oneself or another person.
