A bill to increase the price of migratory-bird hunting and conservation stamps and to suspend the hunting of migratory birds in any State in which there has been a failure to approve an acquisition of wetlands.
Amends the Duck Stamp Act of 1934 to authorize the Postal Service to collect $7.50 for each stamp sold under the provisions of this Act for any hunting year if the Secretary of the Interior determines that all funds in the migratory bird conservation fund have been obligated.
Amends the Migratory Bird Conservation Act to direct the Secretary to recommend only those areas for purchase or rental under the terms of such Act which are necessary for the conservation of migratory birds. Requires the Secretary to consult with the county or other unit of local government in which such area is located, and with the Governor of the State concerned.
