Enacting the lead-free game donation act

This bill prohibits the donation of game (like deer or turkey) taken with lead ammunition for human consumption in New York. It directly affects hunters using lead ammunition (who can no longer donate such game) and charitable organizations that receive food donations (which must now exclude lead-ammunition game). The key provision, added to environmental law, makes game taken with lead ammunition ineligible for donation, while requiring clear labeling for donated game (including the ammunition type used). Charities and processors must follow new labeling rules and use department-approved lists for safe preparation and distribution.
