WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThis bill matters because it directly changes how gray wolves are protected and managed in the United States. If it becomes law, it would end federal protection for the species, shifting management responsibilities to individual states. This could lead to varying state-level rules, potentially including more opportunities for wolf hunting or control, impacting wolf populations and their ecosystems.
Currently, decisions about wolf protections are often challenged in court, leading to uncertainty and back-and-forth changes in their status. This bill seeks to provide a definitive end to federal protection and prevents future court challenges, ensuring that the 2020 decision to delist wolves stands without legal obstruction. For voters, it determines whether federal or state governments have the primary say in the future of gray wolf conservation.
KEY PROVISIONS
3AI-extractedPROVISION 01
Requires the Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to re-issue a specific 2020 rule that removed the gray wolf from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife.
This provision directly mandates the removal of federal protections for the gray wolf across the country.
PROVISION 02
Mandates that the re-issuance of this rule must occur not later than 60 days after the bill becomes law.
This sets a strict and quick deadline for the federal agency to implement the delisting of gray wolves.
PROVISION 03
States that the re-issued rule removing the gray wolf from federal protection shall not be subject to judicial review.
This prevents any legal challenges in court against the decision to delist the gray wolf, making the action final.
