There's no information on this bill yet, except the fact that it exists and its title.

S.2637 - A bill to amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to clarify the treatment of authentic Alaska Native articles of handicraft containing nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes.

https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/2637

Now we know!! >:(

Here's the stated purpose of the bill. Keep in mind, it's talking about bald eagle (and other migratory birds') beaks, talons and feathers.

"To amend the Migratory Bird Treaty Act to exempt certain Alaskan Native articles from prohibitions against sale of items containing nonedible migratory bird parts, and for other purposes." (Emphasis added.)

And here's the text of the bill: https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/2637/text

Finally, here's the "offending" paragraph:

"(2) CLARIFICATION FOR CERTAIN AUTHENTIC ALASKA NATIVE ARTICLES OF HANDICRAFT.-Subject to paragraph (3) and notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, nothing in this Act prohibits the possession, offering for sale, sale, offering to barter, barter, offering to purchase, purchase, delivery for shipment, shipment, causing to be shipped or delivered for transportation, transport, causing to be transported, carrying, causing to be carried, or receiving for shipment, transportation, or carriage of any authentic Alaska Native article of handicraft on the basis that the authentic Alaska Native article of handicraft contains a nonedible migratory bird part." (Emphasis added.)

Update: A Proposed Rule by the Fish and Wildlife Service on 06/17/2016 (evidently Congress thought this would be a great idea  >:()

Migratory Bird Subsistence Harvest in Alaska; Use of Inedible Bird Parts in Authentic Alaska Native Handicrafts for Sale

https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2016/06/17/2016-14411/migratory-bird-subsistence-harvest-in-alaska-use-of-inedible-bird-parts-in-authentic-alaska-native?utm_campaign=subscription+mailing+list&utm_medium=email&utm_source=federalregister.gov
