This bill prohibits the use of lead ammunition when hunting in certain areas and eventually statewide. It also prohibits the sale, manufacture, and use of lead fishing tackle below a certain size. The bill establishes a nontoxic ammunition performance standard for shooting sports facilities and requires nontoxic ammunition in school shooting sports. The bill also includes provisions for education about the toxic effects of lead ammunition and tackle, as well as programs to provide hunters and shooters with nontoxic ammunition at reduced or no cost, and to buy back and exchange lead ammunition. The bill appropriates funds for these programs and for testing blood lead levels in youth who participate or have participated in shooting sports, as well as testing lead levels in private drinking water near shooting facilities.
