A bill to require the Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to reissue a final rule removing the gray wolf from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
This bill (S 1895) requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to immediately reissue a 2020 rule that removed gray wolves from the federal endangered species list. It would directly affect gray wolf populations by ending their federal protections under the Endangered Species Act, impacting how states and wildlife agencies manage wolf populations. The bill mandates the agency reissue the specific rule within 60 days of enactment and explicitly prevents any court challenges to this reissuance. This policy change would shift management authority for gray wolves from federal to state-level oversight.
