Pet and Livestock Protection Act

The legislation requires the Secretary of the Interior to reissue the final rule that removes the gray wolf (Canis lupus) from the endangered and threatened wildlife list within 60 days of the bill’s enactment. Reissuance of the rule is mandated to be completed by the specified deadline and will replace the 2020 regulation that listed the gray wolf as endangered. The change would eliminate federal protection for the species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

Additionally, the bill explicitly prohibits any judicial review of the reissuance, ensuring that the removal cannot be challenged in court. This provision removes a key avenue for legal contestation of the species’ status.
