HR 5161 United States House · 118th Congress

Protecting Hunting and Archery in Schools Act of 2023

HR 5161 amends the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to prohibit the use of federal education funds for hunting or archery programs in schools. The bill specifically revises Section 8526 to remove language allowing such funding and adds clarity to fund restrictions. This change directly affects public schools receiving federal education funding by preventing them from using those funds for hunting or archery activities. The policy change is procedural, modifying existing fund usage rules rather than creating new programs or benefits.
