An act relating to the reintroduction of catamounts to the State of Vermont

This bill requires Vermont's Department of Fish and Wildlife to conduct a feasibility study on reintroducing catamounts (cougars) into the state. The study must address suitable locations, conflict management with humans, success metrics, a timeline, and costs for reintroduction. The department must submit the study results to relevant legislative committees by January 1, 2027. The bill directly affects the state wildlife agency and sets a process for evaluating future reintroduction efforts, but does not authorize actual reintroduction.
