Bill > S1940

This bill, titled "Canyon's Law", proposes to prohibit the use of M-44 devices, commonly known as "cyanide bombs", on public land. M-44 devices are devices designed to propel sodium cyanide when triggered by an animal. The bill cites concerns about the hazardous nature of sodium cyanide, including its ability to cause central nervous system depression, cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, and other severe health effects. The bill also notes that these devices have harmed non-target wildlife and people, including exposing an Idaho child to a sublethal dose of sodium cyanide. The bill requires any federal, state, or county agencies that have used these devices on public land to remove them within 30 days of the bill's enactment.
