Bill > S225

This bill, titled the Hunting, Fishing, and Recreational Shooting Protection Act, aims to exempt certain items used for sporting activities from regulations under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), a law that gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) authority to regulate chemical substances. Specifically, the bill proposes to modify the definition of "chemical substance" under TSCA to exclude components of firearms and ammunition, such as shot, bullets, propellants, and primers, and also to exclude sport fishing equipment and its components, like lead sinkers, even if those items are otherwise exempt from certain taxes. This means that the EPA would have less authority to regulate these specific sporting goods as chemical substances.
