Correct me if I'm wrong, but here's my understanding of the Lacey Act amendments. If enacted:
- Transporting injurious species across state lines will be prohibited;
- The Secretary of the Interior will be empowered to prohibit the importation of any species of "wild mammals, wild birds, fish (including mollusks and crustacea), amphibians, or reptiles" he/she deems injurious to human beings, to the interests of agriculture, horticulture, forestry, or to wildlife or the wildlife resources of the United States for up to 3 years;
- The importation of any species of "wild mammals, wild birds, fish (including mollusks and crustacea), amphibians, or reptiles" that is not native to the United States is prohibited unless: a) the species was imported into the United States or transported between the states in more than minimal quantities last year (# of minimal quantities to be decided later); or b) the Secretary of the Interior determines the species does not pose a significant risk of invasiveness.
