The bill amends Wyoming Statute 23-1-302 to impose restrictions on the actions of the game and fish department and commission regarding the management of grizzly bears. Specifically, it states that the commission and department shall not engage in any management actions for grizzly bears unless such actions are explicitly required by statute or deemed necessary for public safety and welfare. This limitation will remain in effect until the grizzly bear is delisted under the federal Endangered Species Act and primary management is returned to the state.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the game and fish commission must create all necessary rules to implement these provisions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon the completion of all necessary legislative processes as outlined in the Wyoming Constitution.
