Sportsmen’s Alliance Backs H.R. 1897 and H.R. 845 in U.S. House
The U.S. House of Representatives will act on long awaited Endangered Species Act (ESA) legislation and wolf delisting Wednesday, December 17, and tomorrow, Thursday, December 18.
Committee Action on ESA Amendments Act (H.R. 1897)
Today, the House Natural Resources Committee will determine if H.R.1897, ESA Amendments Act of 2025, should go to a vote before the entire House. This bill creates a backstop against frivolous litigation, streamlines the ESA permitting process, provides incentives for recovery listed species, promotes agency accountability, amends and adds clarity to statutory definitions, and focuses on species recovery.
Full House Vote on Gray Wolf Management (H.R. 845)
Tomorrow, H.R.845, the Pet and Livestock Protection Act is scheduled to be voted on by the full House. This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to remove gray wolves from the list of endangered and threatened species in the Lower 48 states and return their management to the states. Last year, a similar bill passed the House but never passed the Senate.
The Push for Meaningful Reform
The gray wolf has become a poster child for ESA reform. Delisting has been tied up in oscillating decision making and litigation for two decades, and the Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation has been there every step of the way.
Both of these bills would benefit sportsmen across the country, and Sportsmen’s Alliance Foundation applauds Congress for taking on these issues.
