Prohibits game taken with lead ammunition from being donated for human consumption in New York.
The bill, known as the "lead-free game donation act," prohibits game taken by a firearm using lead ammunition from being donated for human consumption in New York. It amends the environmental conservation law and the agriculture and markets law to ensure that game taken with lead ammunition is ineligible for donation. The bill emphasizes the health risks of lead exposure, particularly for vulnerable populations. It also allows for the donation of game taken by archery or non-lead ammunition. The act will take effect two years after becoming law.
