Summary

The bill forbids hunters from using lead‑based ammunition and mandates a transition to non‑lead ammo, which may contain up to 1% lead or be federally certified as non‑lead. It applies to all hunters, with penalties ranging from $100 to $4,000 for violations, but exempts law‑enforcement officials acting outside wildlife management. The Fish and Game Council must phase in the ban, certify acceptable ammo, and adopt implementing rules.
