Bill > S03302

This bill enacts the "Big Five African Trophies Act," which prohibits the importation, transportation, and possession of products from certain African wildlife species, including the African Elephant, African Leopard, African Lion, Black Rhinoceros, White Rhinoceros, and African Giraffe. It provides exceptions for items located in New York prior to the law's effective date, museum collections, and distribution to legal beneficiaries or heirs. The bill also authorizes law enforcement to seize and forfeit any items found in violation of the law, which can then be offered to institutions or destroyed.
