Bill > S4206

This bill amends the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to prohibit certain activities involving "prohibited primate species," which are defined as any live species of nonhuman primate, including chimpanzees, galagos, gibbons, gorillas, lemurs, lorises, monkeys, orangutans, tarsiers, or any hybrids of such species. The key provisions include prohibiting the import, export, transport, sale, receipt, acquisition, purchase, breeding, or possession of these prohibited primate species in interstate or foreign commerce, with some exceptions for existing registered owners, research facilities, and entities transporting the animals. The bill also requires the Secretary of the Interior to promulgate regulations implementing these amendments within 180 days of enactment.
