The Snowmobiles Aren't Weapons Act prohibits people from intentionally using motor vehicles to run over or kill wolves or coyotes on federal public lands. Violators face fines up to $5,000, imprisonment up to one year, or both. The law includes exceptions for actions taken to prevent injury to people, protect property, or conduct authorized wildlife management activities. The Secretary of the Interior is responsible for investigating violations and may request assistance from state and local law enforcement. The bill applies only to federal lands administered by the Interior Department and does not affect existing provisions of the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956.
