As far as I have been able to find out it is not a federal law, however, it is State law just about everywhere, as best as I can tell. Many, many Cities and counties also have similar laws.

So, thanks to the Lacey Act, in some cases it could be a federal offense, since the Lacey Act re-enforces state and local laws. Simply put- if it is illegal to do in a state, then it is illegal federally.
