Bill overview
This bill outlines a process for states to consider reintroducing gray wolves (Canis lupus) to their territory, but only with approval from the Department of the Interior. It requires states to submit a detailed plan demonstrating the need for reintroduction and assessing potential impacts on wildlife populations and local economies. Counties within the affected area will provide input, and the Secretary of the Interior ultimately decides whether to approve the reintroduction, with protections in place for livestock and domestic dogs.
