Prohibits lead ammunition or tackle on federal land or water unless local wildlife decline is due to lead use.
The Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act of 2025 aims to prevent the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture from banning lead ammunition or tackle on federal land or water accessible for hunting or fishing. Exceptions are allowed if a specific federal land or water unit shows a wildlife population decline primarily caused by lead use, and if the prohibition or regulations align with state laws or policies, or are approved by the state's fish and wildlife department.
