Canyon’s Law prohibits the use of M–44 devices, commonly known as “cyanide bombs”, on public land. These devices, which propel sodium cyanide when triggered by an animal, have caused numerous incidents of poisoning and death among nontarget wildlife and people. The bill mandates that any federal, state, or county agency remove these devices from public land within 30 days of the act's enactment. The law aims to prevent further harm caused by these highly toxic devices, which have led to the deaths of endangered species and family pets, as well as injuries to people.
