What it does
Canyon’s Law would prohibit the use of M–44 devices, commonly known as cyanide bombs, on all federal public lands managed by agencies such as the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, and Forest Service. The bill requires any federal, state, or county agency that has deployed such devices on public land to remove them within 30 days of the bill’s enactment. This prohibition aims to protect people, pets, and wildlife—including endangered species—from the indiscriminate and highly toxic effects of sodium cyanide, which has caused numerous accidental poisonings and deaths since 1984.
