Concerning grizzly bear management.
HB 1825 repeals two existing Washington State laws (RCW 77.12.035 and related statutes) that previously addressed grizzly bear protection, transplantation, and coordination with federal agencies. The bill does not establish new management policies or directly affect bear populations or land use. It is a procedural change that removes outdated legal language from state code without altering current grizzly bear management practices. The bill is currently in committee review with no further action taken as of the latest update.
