Pacific Northwest Gray Wolves Relief Act of 2025
The Pacific Northwest Gray Wolves Relief Act of 2025 requires the Secretary of the Interior to reissue a 2020 federal rule that removed gray wolves from the endangered species list. This reissued rule would apply exclusively to gray wolf populations in Oregon and Washington, ending federal protections for wolves in those states. The bill mandates this reissuance within 60 days of enactment, directly affecting gray wolf management in Oregon and Washington. As a result, gray wolves in these states would no longer be classified as federally endangered under the Endangered Species Act.
