U.S. House Committee, Including Idaho’s Rep. Fulcher, Signs Off on Delisting Grizzly Bear
WASHINGTON, D.C., JUL 15 – The bill would transfer grizzly management from federal to state agencies and block judicial review, with proponents citing a population of about 1,100 bears meeting recovery targets, officials said.
- On Tuesday, July 15, 2025, the U.S. House Natural Resources Committee voted 20-19 to advance the bill that would delist Greater Yellowstone grizzly bears and bar judicial review.
- Wyoming Representative Harriet M. Hageman proposed House Bill 281 on January 9, 2025 to reinstate a 2017 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service rule removing grizzly bears from ESA protections.
- Amid debate, critics said barring judicial review sets a bad precedent, while former recovery coordinator Christopher Servheen noted congressional delisting ignores essential ESA recovery requirements.
- Following the committee’s approval, the bill will go to the full House and then the Senate.
- If enacted, management shifts to Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho, potentially increasing grizzly bear deaths and threatening their long-term recovery.
