Prohibits using toxic ammunition in the taking of wildlife

This bill prohibits the use of toxic ammunition, including lead bullets, for taking wildlife. It requires hunters to use only federally approved nontoxic ammunition instead. The law applies directly to individuals hunting wildlife and takes effect 30 days after enactment. The key provision mandates a switch to approved nontoxic alternatives while explicitly banning lead and other toxic options.
