House passes bill to delist gray wolves outside Alaska, reversing court-ordered protections.
The U.S. House passed a bill to remove federal Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves outside Alaska, reversing a prior delisting rule invalidated by a court.
Sponsored by Reps. Lauren Boebert and Tom Tiffany, the measure would direct the Interior Secretary to reissue the 2020 delisting rule and block legal challenges.
Backed by 211-204 vote, it reflects Republican claims that wolf populations have recovered and states should manage them to protect livestock and public safety, citing incidents like wolves near schools and declining deer numbers.
Critics, including some Democrats, argue the move disregards scientific assessments and sets a dangerous precedent by overriding judicial review.
The bill now faces a high hurdle in the Senate, where 60 votes are typically needed for passage.
