A BILL To amend the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to prohibit importation, exportation, transportation, sale, receipt, ac- quisition, and purchase in interstate or foreign com- merce, or in a manner substantially affecting interstate or foreign commerce, or possession, of any live animal of any prohibited primate species.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to prohibit the importation, exportation, transportation, sale, receipt, acquisition, purchase, or possession of any live animal of a "prohibited primate species" in interstate or foreign commerce. The term "prohibited primate species" is defined to include chimpanzees, galagos, gibbons, gorillas, lemurs, lorises, monkeys, orangutans, tarsiers, and any hybrid of such species. The bill provides exemptions for certain entities, such as licensed zoos, research facilities, and wildlife sanctuaries, and allows individuals who possessed a prohibited primate species before the bill's enactment to register the animal with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The bill also directs the Secretary of the Interior to promulgate regulations to implement the amendments within 180 days of the bill's enactment.
