In the other chamber's committee

What this bill would do

This Act is titled the ``Pet and Livestock Protection Act''. It requires the Secretary of the Interior to reissue a specific final rule regarding the gray wolf. This rule removes the gray wolf from the list of endangered and threatened wildlife under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The reissuance must occur no later than 60 days after the date of enactment. Finally, the reissuance of this rule is not subject to judicial review.
