H.R. 845: Pet and Livestock Protection Act
Sponsor

What H.R. 845 does
H.R. 845 would direct the Department of the Interior to reissue its November 3, 2020 final rule that removed the gray wolf in the lower 48 states, except the Mexican wolf subspecies, from the Endangered Species Act's lists of endangered and threatened species. A federal district court in Northern California vacated that rule on February 10, 2022, which restored the gray wolf's earlier protections.
The bill would also bar judicial review of the reissued rule.
