Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act

Last updated: 3/19/2026 · Introduced: 1/16/2025

Author: Robert Wittman (R-VA)

TL;DR (AI)

  • This bill prevents the federal government from restricting the use of lead ammunition or fishing tackle on federal lands and waters used for hunting or fishing.
  • An exception to this prohibition exists if lead use demonstrably causes a decline in wildlife populations, and the restriction aligns with state law or approval.
  • If a restriction is implemented due to wildlife decline, the relevant federal agency must publicly explain how it meets the bill's requirements.
