Prohibits use of lead ammunition in hunting.

Summary

The bill makes it illegal to use lead‑based ammo when hunting wildlife in New Jersey and defines acceptable ammo as containing no lead, 1% lead or less, or approved by the federal government. It tasks the state Fish and Game Council with phasing out lead ammo and creating a certified list of non‑lead options, while setting fines for violations. Law‑enforcement officers are exempt only when performing duties unrelated to wildlife management.
