It directs the Secretary of the Interior to implement fertility controls to manage populations of wild free-roaming horses and burros. The legislation mandates that the Secretary take immediate steps to achieve appropriate management levels once it is determined that action is necessary. Furthermore, it encourages training opportunities for military veterans to assist in range management activities. The bill specifically focuses on the use of on-range immunocontraceptive vaccines.
