Bill > HR281

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to reissue a specific final rule within 180 days of the bill's enactment that would remove the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem population of grizzly bears from the Federal list of endangered and threatened wildlife. The bill mandates that this rule (originally published on June 30, 2017) be reissued without being subject to any other existing legal constraints or judicial review. By preventing judicial review, the bill essentially ensures that the rule delisting the grizzly bears from endangered species protection will be implemented without the possibility of legal challenges. The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which spans parts of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, is home to a significant population of grizzly bears, and this bill would change their conservation status, potentially allowing for different management approaches such as hunting or reduced habitat protections.
