What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Grizzly Bear State Management Act," directs the Secretary of the Interior to take specific action regarding grizzly bears. It requires the Secretary to reissue a final rule that removes the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem population of grizzly bears from the Federal list of endangered and threatened wildlife. This reissuance must occur within 180 days after the Act is enacted. The directive specifies that the rule be issued without regard to any other provision of law that applies to the issuance of that rule. Additionally, the bill states that the reissuance of this final rule is not subject to judicial review.
