Grizzly bear management prohibition.
Wyoming's SF 170 prohibits the state Game and Fish Commission and Department from taking any management actions for grizzly bears unless required by state law or necessary for public safety. The bill restricts agency activities until grizzly bears are federally delisted and management responsibility returns to Wyoming. It requires the commission to create implementing rules and takes effect immediately upon enactment. This procedural bill directly limits state agency authority over grizzly bear management without changing current federal or state protections.
