AI Summary
This bill amends the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to clarify provisions enacted by the Captive Wildlife Safety Act and further the conservation of certain wildlife species. Specifically, it defines the term "breed" and prohibits the import, export, transport, sale, receipt, acquisition, purchase, or breeding of any "prohibited wildlife species" (which includes big cats like lions, tigers, and jaguars) in interstate or foreign commerce, with some exceptions for certain licensed entities and sanctuaries. The bill also imposes civil and criminal penalties for violations and allows for the forfeiture of prohibited wildlife species. Finally, it requires the Secretary to promulgate regulations necessary to implement the bill's provisions.
