AI Summary
This bill, the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act of 2023, prohibits the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture from banning the use of lead ammunition or tackle on federal lands and waters under their jurisdiction that are available for hunting and fishing activities, unless they determine that the use of lead is primarily causing a decline in the local wildlife population and the prohibition or regulations are consistent with state law, policy, or approved by the state fish and wildlife department.
