Bill > S316

This bill, known as the Grizzly Bear State Management Act of 2025, 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 requires the Secretary to reinstate the original rule published on June 30, 2017, which delisted the grizzly bears from endangered species protections, and notably includes a provision that prevents any judicial review of this rule reissuance. By mandating the rule's reinstatement without potential legal challenges, the bill aims to definitively change the conservation status of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, effectively transferring management responsibilities from federal to state levels and potentially allowing for different approaches to grizzly bear population control and habitat management.
