Resolve, Authorizing A Study On The Impacts And Risks Of Lead-Based Ammunition

LD 1364 is a study resolution directing Maine's Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife to examine the impacts and risks of lead-based hunting ammunition on wildlife, humans, and the environment. The department must study ways to minimize these risks and submit a report with recommendations to the relevant legislative committee by November 4, 2026. This resolution does not change current laws but will inform potential future legislation based on the study's findings. It directly affects the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, which is tasked with conducting the research.
