HR 845 would force reissuance of the 2020 rule removing gray wolves from endangered species protections, with no court challenges allowed.

40-second read · 4 questions answered below

What does this do?

This bill requires the Interior Secretary to reissue, within 60 days, the 2020 rule that removed the gray wolf from the endangered species list. It skips the usual scientific review and public comment process, and it bars any court from reviewing this action.

Who does it affect?

Ranchers, farmers, hunters, and states in wolf territory (Western Great Lakes and Northern Rocky Mountains) would regain state-managed wolf control and hunting. Environmental groups, wildlife scientists, and Native American tribes would lose both wolf protections and the ability to sue over the decision.

Why does it matter?

Removing court review means conservation groups, tribes, or other opponents would have no legal way to challenge the delisting, regardless of the scientific basis for the decision.
