Allows importation of polar bear trophies taken in sport hunts in Canada before the polar bear was listed as a threatened species.
This bill amends the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 to permit the importation of polar bear trophies taken in sport hunts in Canada before the polar bear was listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The Secretary of the Interior must issue permits for these imports, provided the trophy was legally harvested before specific dates and meets certain conditions.
