Prohibits use of lead ammunition in hunting.

This New Jersey bill prohibits the use of lead ammunition for hunting, directly affecting hunters and firearm manufacturers in the state. It defines 'nonlead ammunition' as bullets containing no lead, less than one percent lead, or those approved by the federal government, and requires the Fish and Game Council to phase in these restrictions over time. Violations of the new rules could result in fines ranging from $100 for a first offense to $4,000 for subsequent offenses.
