[Q]: SECTION 1. YELLOWSTONE BUFFALO PRESERVATION.

    (a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Yellowstone 
Buffalo Preservation Act''.
    (b) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) More than any other animal, the American buffalo (Bison 
        bison) is a wildlife icon of the United States. The American 
        buffalo is the symbol that represents the Department of the 
        Interior. The American buffalo is profoundly significant to 
        Native American cultures and, perhaps more than any other 
        wildlife species, has influenced our history.
            (2) The American buffalo is still under assault, as it was 
        in the late 19th Century when it was nearly exterminated. At 
        the end of the great slaughter, in which tens of millions of 
        buffalo were killed, only a few hundred wild buffalo remained 
        in the Nation and all were located in Yellowstone National 
        Park. Due to poaching, their numbers were reduced to 25 by the 
        year 1900.
            (3) The offspring of the 25 survivors comprise the 
        Yellowstone buffalo herd and are the only wild, free-roaming 
        American buffalo to continuously occupy their native habitat in 
        the United States.
            (4) The Yellowstone buffalo herd is genetically unique. 
        Unlike captive ranched buffalo, which are now relatively 
        common, the Yellowstone buffalo herd has never interbred with 
        cattle and has retained its wild character.
            (5) Because the Park lacks extensive low-elevation winter 
        habitat that provides bison and elk with access to winter 
        forage, wildlife migrate from the high elevation plateau of 
        Yellowstone National Park to lower elevation habitat adjacent 
        to the Park in winter and spring.
            (6) The Yellowstone buffalo herd was exposed to the 
        bacterium Brucella abortus, which can cause the disease 
        brucellosis, in 1917. Brucellosis is only transmitted through 
        animal ingestion of contaminated reproductive products. 
        Brucellosis can cause abortions in infected animals, but only 
        infectious females who have the bacteria in their reproductive 
        system represent any potential threat of transmission. The risk 
        of transmission between wild buffalo and cattle was deemed low 
        in a 1992 General Accounting Office report, and again in a 1998 
        National Research Council study. In fact, there has never been 
        a confirmed incidence of brucellosis transmission in the wild 
        from buffalo to cattle. Buffalo with brucellosis and cattle 
        have grazed together for over 50 years in the Jackson Hole area 
        south of Yellowstone without any incident of disease 
        transmission. Despite these facts, the National Park Service, 
        the United States Forest Service, and the State of Montana 
        Department of Livestock haze, capture, and kill members of the 
        Yellowstone buffalo herd in an attempt to keep them unnaturally 
        confined within Yellowstone National Park. At the same time, 
        approximately 13,000 Yellowstone elk, some of which also harbor 
        brucellosis, are allowed unfettered access to Federal land 
        outside the Park. Since 1984, nearly 3,700 American buffalo 
        have been killed in Montana as a result of this policy. In the 
        winter of 2002-2003, 244 buffalo were killed by the Federal and 
        State agencies, including 231 buffalo which were captured and 
        slaughtered by the National Park Service.
            (7) The key lower elevation habitat needed by American 
        buffalo is primarily on Gallatin National Forest lands adjacent 
        to the north and west sides of the Park. On the north side, 
        taxpayers spent $13,000,000 in 1999 for a private-Federal land 
        exchange intended to make low elevation habitat adjacent to the 
        Yellowstone River accessible to the Yellowstone buffalo herd 
        and other wildlife. The land exchange has not yet been 
        finalized by Federal agencies and therefore key habitat is not 
        available to the Yellowstone buffalo herd.
            (8) On the west side of the Park, the Horse Butte peninsula 
        provides prime wildlife habitat for grizzly bears, trumpeter 
        swans, bald eagles, wolves, and buffalo. The peninsula 
        comprises approximately 10,000 acres of primarily Gallatin 
        National Forest Federal lands extending into Hebgen Lake.
            (9) National Park Service lands have been set aside for the 
        conservation of resources and values and for the enjoyment and 
        use of all citizens. The Federal lands adjacent to the Park 
        represent some of the most valuable and important wildlife 
        habitat in the lower forty-eight states. They are integrally 
        connected to the health of wildlife residing seasonally in our 
        Nation's oldest national park. Together, the Park and the 
        adjacent Federal lands provide some of our Nation's richest 
        opportunities for recreation, wildlife viewing, family camping, 
        wildlife conservation, fishing, and other recreational and 
        sporting activities. These Federal lands should be 
        preferentially managed to sustain this rich and diverse 
        wildlife resource and to provide the public with enjoyment of 
        this National treasure.
    (c) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to provide for the 
protection of the Yellowstone buffalo herd by allowing the Yellowstone 
buffalo herd to freely roam Federal lands outside of the Park. The 
Federal lands that are affected by this Act are those within the Park 
and adjacent to it on the north and west boundaries as indicated by 
zones 2 and 3 on the Modified Preferred Alternative Map on page 181 of 
the 2000 Bison Management Plan for the State of Montana and Yellowstone 
National Park Final Environmental Impact Statement.
    (d) Definitions.--For the purposes of this section, the following 
definitions apply:
            (1) Hazing.--The term ``hazing'' means any individual 
        effort to drive away, obstruct, chase, scare, or deter natural 
        movements of wildlife, including hazing efforts carried out on 
        foot or horseback or efforts aided by machinery, aircraft, or 
        any type of noise-making device.
            (2) Individual.--The term ``individual'' means any person

        Park.
            (4) Secretary.--The term ``Secretary'' means the Secretary

        living primarily within Yellowstone National Park.
    (e) Prohibited Acts; Criminal Penalties.--
            (1) Prohibited acts.--No individual may kill, haze, or 
        capture any buffalo on Federal land or land held under Federal

        subsection (f) are carried out.
            (2) Penalties.--
                    (A) Initial violation.--Any individual found to be 
                in violation of paragraph (1) for the first time shall 
                be fined not more than $5,000 or imprisoned not more 
                than 1 year or both.
                    (B) Subsequent violations.--Any individual found to 
                be in violation of paragraph (1) after the first such

                leads to conviction of a violation of this subsection.
                    (D) Exception.--This subsection shall not apply to 
                a person that is found to have been hazing a buffalo if
