federal nullification; Mexican wolf; reintroduction

HB 2787 prohibits Arizona state agencies, employees, and political subdivisions from using state resources to enforce, administer, or cooperate with the federal Mexican wolf reintroduction program under the Endangered Species Act. It directly affects state government operations by banning state involvement in the wolf program, though it exempts the existing livestock loss program managed by the Livestock Loss Board. The bill does not change federal law but aims to limit state-level support for the program, which the legislature claims has exceeded population goals since 2014 and causes economic harm to ranchers. The bill focuses on state authority over resource use, not altering the federal program itself.
