Bill Summary
A BILL To prohibit the use of M-44 devices, commonly known as ‘‘cyanide bombs’’, on public land, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, known as "Canyon's Law," aims to prohibit the use of M-44 devices, commonly referred to as "cyanide bombs," on public lands. M-44 devices are designed to release sodium cyanide, a highly toxic pesticide, when triggered by animals such as wolves, coyotes, foxes, and wild dogs that are suspected of preying on livestock and poultry. The bill cites concerns over the indiscriminate nature of these devices, which have harmed numerous non-target wildlife and people, including children, and have proven ineffective in targeting the intended animals. The bill requires the removal of any existing M-44 devices from public lands within 30 days of the bill's enactment.
