Sportsmen’s Act of 2012
The Sportsmen’s Act of 2012 (S. 3525) may be brought to the floor of the Senate when it returns to session after November 13, 2012. The bill is a compilation of 19 other bipartisan bills and is supported by 56 national conservation and wildlife groups in its present form. The bill could possibly be amended in the Senate. Although the bill is fairly complex, its appeal to conservation and wildlife groups is due to two factors:
1) habitat conservation, and 2) increased hunting access. The bill can be read in its current state at http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/112/s3525/text.
