Legislation· May 2024Sponsored by Robert J. Wittman (R)
Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act of 2023
Would have barred federal land agencies from banning lead ammunition and fishing tackle.
Tradeoff
Would have blocked bans on lead ammunition and tackle on federal hunting and fishing lands. Would have allowed site-specific limits only where lead is shown to cause wildlife declines and state wildlife agencies agree.
What's in it
The House passed the bill 214-201 on April 30, 2024, after rejecting a motion to send it back for changes, 204-211. The Senate never voted on it before the Congress ended, so the bill expired.
