This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to reissue a specific final rule from June 30, 2017 that removed the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem population of grizzly bears from the Federal list of endangered and threatened wildlife. The reissuance must happen no later than 180 days after the bill becomes law. The bill says the reissuance must occur "without regard to any other provision of law" that applies to that rule. It also says the reissuance shall not be subject to judicial review.
If this bill becomes law, the Department of the Interior would be required to reissue the 2017 final rule that removes the Greater Yellowstone grizzly population from the federal endangered and threatened list within 180 days. The bill removes legal review of that reissuance, meaning courts could not review the reissued final rule under this bill. The text of the bill does not describe how states or other parties would manage grizzly bears after reissuance.
