The "Restore M-44 Act" aims to reverse recent restrictions on wildlife damage management tools. It mandates the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture to jointly rescind a specific Master Memorandum of Understanding (BLM-MOU-HQ230-2023-05) signed in November 2023, which pertains to wildlife damage management. Additionally, this bill rescinds a prohibition from the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024, allowing the Secretary of Agriculture to purchase, deploy, and train third parties on the use of M-44 sodium cyanide ejector devices and sodium fluoroacetate (compound 1080) . It also removes the previous requirement for the Secretary of Agriculture to provide congressional committees with updates on the implementation of M-44 device prohibitions.
