Summary of Bill HRES 1142

Bill 115 H.Res. 1142 is a resolution that sets forth the procedures for considering H.R. 6784, a bill that aims to remove the gray wolf from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in the contiguous 48 states under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The resolution outlines the rules and guidelines for the legislative process that will take place from November 19, 2018, through November 26, 2018.

The main focus of H.R. 6784 is to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act, which would allow for more flexibility in managing the population of gray wolves in the United States. Supporters of the bill argue that the gray wolf population has recovered sufficiently and no longer needs the protections afforded by the Endangered Species Act. They believe that delisting the gray wolf will allow for better management of the species and reduce conflicts with livestock owners.

Opponents of the bill, however, argue that the gray wolf population is still vulnerable and removing protections could lead to a decline in their numbers. They believe that the gray wolf should remain on the endangered species list to ensure their continued survival and protection. Overall, the resolution and the bill it pertains to are part of a larger debate surrounding wildlife conservation and management in the United States. The outcome of this legislative process will have significant implications for the future of the gray wolf population in the contiguous 48 states.
