WOLF Act of 2025

This bill increases livestock indemnity payments to 100% of market value for losses caused by Mexican gray wolf attacks, replacing previous partial reimbursement rates. It also establishes annual emergency relief funds for livestock producers affected by wolf depredations, using a formula based on herd size, historical attack data, management cost increases, birth rate declines, and prevention practices. The relief program requires the Secretary to develop a distribution formula within 180 days and submit annual reports to Congress. These provisions directly affect ranchers and livestock producers in states with Mexican gray wolf populations who experience wolf-related losses.
