Statutory Parameters of the Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act

My presentation will review the legislative history, court interpretations and Appropriation Rider Amendments of the Wild and Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act. Because any "fixes" to the Act and its implementation have to start with an understanding of the current statute as amended, this presentation is to ensure the participants in the breakout sessions understand where any proposed changes have to be made statutorily, regulatory or in agency manuals of handbooks.
