Bill Summary

CONCERNING PREREQUISITES TO THE MANAGEMENT OF GRAY WOLVES PRIOR TO THE WOLVES BEING REINTRODUCED.

AI Summary

This bill requires that the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission not authorize the release of federally endangered gray wolves into designated lands until the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has designated the gray wolf population in those lands as a "nonessential experimental population" under the Endangered Species Act. This management flexibility is considered critical for the successful reintroduction and management of gray wolves in Colorado, as required by a voter-approved ballot measure in 2020. The bill also notes that wolf releases are currently planned for state or private lands, rather than federal lands, due to the analysis required by the National Environmental Policy Act.
