GRIZZLY BEAR -- States findings of the Legislature and calls upon the federal government to delist grizzly bears and review the Endangered Species Act.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
▶ Show statement of purpose▼ Hide statement of purpose
This legislation is a memorial calling for an end to listing grizzly bears in the lower 48 states as an endangered species and returning management to the states. The increase in grizzly populations exists alongside a proven track record of state agencies demonstrating the skill and ability to conserve and manage this population. The recent proposal by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ignores the success of the state-level action and attempts to extend the region under management and maintain the federal government's control. Based on all the available data, the memorial calls for delisting grizzlies, returning management to the states, and a review of the Endangered Species Act.
FISCAL NOTE
