PROBLEM: 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
representing a State or Federal Government.
(3) Park.--The term ''Park'' means Yellowstone National
Park.
(4) Secretary.--The term ''Secretary'' means the Secretary
of the Interior.
(5) Yellowstone buffalo herd.--The term ''Yellowstone
buffalo herd'' means the wild, free roaming, unfenced buffalo
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
conservation easements or use any form of bait to lure buffalo
from any Federal land onto private land until the duties under
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
finding shall be fined not more than $10,000 or
imprisoned not more than 2 years or both.
(C) Reward.--One half of any fine collected under
this subsection or $2,500, whichever is less, shall be
paid to any person or persons giving information which
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
the person is physically endangered or private property
was damaged by a buffalo.
(f) Duties.--The Secretary and other appropriate Federal agencies
shall ensure that the following is accomplished not later than 3 years
after the date of the enactment of this Act:
(1) The Yellowstone buffalo herd is allowed to freely roam
the Park and the Federal lands adjacent to Yellowstone National
Park 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
without being hazed. These lands shall be made available
preferentially for buffalo and wildlife use.
(2) Management authority of the Yellowstone buffalo herd
within the Park is under the sole jurisdiction of the National
Park Service.
(3) The land exchange described in section 1(b)(7) with the
private property owner has been finalized, as set forth in the
agreement executed in 1999, so that the Yellowstone buffalo
herd may freely roam the lands described in paragraph (1).
(4) The National Park Service has disassembled the Stephens
Creek Buffalo Capture Facility.
(5) The Secretary has made every effort practicable to
allow the Yellowstone buffalo herd to freely roam Federal lands
through incentives and cooperative efforts with adjacent
private landowners, including through acquisition, easement,
cattle vaccination, and landowner agreement pertaining to
temporal and spatial separation of livestock from the
Yellowstone buffalo herd.

SOLUTION: Yellowstone Buffalo Preservation Act - Prohibits an individual from killing, hazing, or capturing any buffalo on Federal lands or land held under Federal conservation easements or using any form of bait to lure buffalo from any Federal land onto private land until the Secretary of the Interior and other appropriate Federal agencies carry out specified duties.

Establishes fines and criminal penalties for violations of this Act.
