Contact Congress about H.R. 845: Pet and Livestock Protection Act

Gray wolves would lose federal endangered or threatened status in areas covered by a 2020 rule. States and tribes would take the lead on wolf management there, and courts could not review the reissued rule.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Pet and Livestock Protection Act is a Senate bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.

Latest action on H.R. 845: Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects gray wolves, livestock owners, pet owners, states, tribes, and groups that work on wildlife protection. Ranchers and nearby communities could see faster local action on wolf conflicts. States and tribes would have more control over wolf rules in covered areas. Wildlife groups and others would lose a normal path to challenge this specific delisting rule in court.

Why this matters: This bill would shift many gray wolf decisions from the federal government to states and tribes in covered areas. That could change how wolves are hunted, protected, or controlled near livestock and homes. It also changes the usual process for a major wildlife decision by blocking court review of this reissued rule. The bill does not set state or tribal wolf rules, so the real-world effects would depend on what those governments do next.

Key provisions in H.R. 845

  • The Secretary of the Interior must bring back a 2020 final rule that removed gray wolves from the federal endangered and threatened wildlife list.
  • The Secretary must reissue the rule within 60 days after the bill becomes law.
  • The bill uses the 2020 rule as written. It does not start a new rule or update process.
  • Courts could not review the reissued rule. That limits lawsuits over this specific action.
  • Gray wolves would lose federal protection in covered areas. State and tribal laws would then guide most wolf management there.
