Bill > S2562

This bill, the Captive Primate Safety Act, amends the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to prohibit the importation, exportation, transportation, sale, receipt, acquisition, and purchase in interstate or foreign commerce of any live animal of any prohibited wildlife species, including nonhuman primates. The bill also adds new regulations to implement these changes, requiring the Secretary to promulgate regulations within 180 days of the bill's enactment. These provisions aim to restrict the trade and possession of certain wildlife species, particularly primates, in order to promote public safety and animal welfare.
