Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill requires the Fish and Wildlife Service to update its monitoring plan for gray wolves in the Northern Great Lakes region, which includes Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan's Upper Peninsula, within one year of the law's enactment. Once the monitoring plan is updated, the Secretary of the Interior must issue a rule to remove gray wolves from the endangered species list in that region, though this does not affect wolf protections in other areas. The bill establishes a Northern Great Lakes Region Gray Wolf Advisory Committee within 30 days that will include federal agencies, state officials nominated by governors, representatives from federally recognized Indian tribes, and wolf experts to consult on the monitoring plan update and oversee a five-year post-delisting monitoring period. The legislation is sponsored by Senators Baldwin and Klobuchar and directs the advisory committee to help guide decisions about wolf management in the three-state region. No specific federal funding amount is mentioned in the bill text provided.
