Congress Passes Bill Funding School Hunting, Archery Courses

  • Congress has passed a bill with overwhelming support aimed at safeguarding federal funding for school programs related to hunting and archery. This action comes in response to the Biden administration’s interpretation of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which raised concerns about the use of funds for shooting sports activities.
  • The “Protecting Hunting Heritage and Education Act,” introduced by Republican Representatives Mark Green of Tennessee and Richard Hudson of North Carolina, was approved by the House on Tuesday in a 424-1 vote. The sole “Nay” vote came from Texas Democrat Representative Veronica Escobar.
  • On Wednesday, the Senate also passed the legislation through unanimous consent.
