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," proposes to prohibit the use of M-44 devices, commonly referred to as "cyanide bombs," on public lands. M-44 devices are designed to release the highly toxic pesticide sodium cyanide when triggered by an animal, and have been used to kill wolves, coyotes, foxes, and wild dogs suspected of preying on livestock. The bill cites the dangers of sodium cyanide, which is a Category One acute toxicant, as well as the indiscriminate nature of M-44 devices, which have harmed and killed numerous non-target wildlife and people. The bill requires that any existing M-44 devices on public lands be removed within 30 days of the bill's enactment.
