H.R. 6021

Archie Cavanaugh Migratory Bird Treaty Clarification Act

Natural Resources Committee · Rep. Nicholas Begich (R-AK)

14 September 2026 | Passed House with amendment (voice vote)

What's next: To the Senate (if and when it takes it up)

Summary: The bill would clarify that the Migratory Bird Treaty Act does not prohibit Alaska Natives from possessing, selling, or transporting traditional handicrafts, clothing, or art containing parts from migratory birds, as long as the birds were obtained legally and not wasted. It would also direct the State Department and Interior Department to work with other countries that are part of migratory bird treaties to align their rules on this issue and update relevant regulations accordingly.
