Idaho’s HJM4 Delivered to D.C.

Last week, Idaho senators passed House Joint Memorial 4 which asks the federal government to remove the grizzly bear from the Endangered Species List.  The Memorial, which already cleared the House, says grizzly bears have reached recovery goals in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming, and those elevated population numbers have led to conflicts between bears and both humans and other animals alike.  

Following last week’s passage in Boise, copies of House Joint Memorial 4 were sent to House Speaking Mike Johnson, Vice President JD Vance, the President of the Senate, the USDA, the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife, as well as the congressional delegations of Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming.
