Bill Summary
A BILL To amend the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to prohibit certain activities involving prohibited primate species, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, the Captive Primate Safety Act, amends the Lacey Act Amendments of 1981 to prohibit certain activities involving "prohibited primate species," which are defined as any live species of non-human primate, including chimpanzees, monkeys, and other related species. Specifically, the bill prohibits the import, export, transport, sale, receipt, acquisition, purchase, breeding, or possession of these primate species in interstate or foreign commerce, with some exceptions for certain entities like registered research facilities and individuals who had these animals before the bill's enactment. The bill also requires the Secretary of the Interior to promulgate regulations implementing these changes within 180 days, though the enforceability of the amendments is not affected by any delay in issuing the regulations.
