Bill Summary
AN ACT To require the Secretary of the Interior to reissue regulations removing the gray wolf from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Pet and Livestock Protection Act, requires the Secretary of the Interior to reissue a specific federal regulation within 60 days of the bill's enactment that would remove the gray wolf (Canis lupus) from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife under the Endangered Species Act. The bill specifically mandates the reissuance of a rule originally published on November 3 that delisted the gray wolf, and uniquely includes a provision that prevents any judicial review of this rule reissuance. By preventing judicial review, the bill ensures that the delisting cannot be challenged in court, effectively permanently removing federal protections for gray wolves and potentially allowing more flexible management of wolf populations, which could have implications for livestock and pet owners in areas with wolf populations.
