Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s bill to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species List, the Trust the Science Act, passed the House as part of the Interior Appropriations Bill. In 2020, the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service delisted the gray wolf in the lower 48 United States through a process that included the best science and data available. At over 6,000 wolves at the time of delisting, the gray wolf has been the latest Endangered Species Act success story with significant population recoveries in the Rocky Mountains and western Great Lakes regions. The Trust the Science Act requires the Secretary of the Interior to reissue the 2020 Department of the Interior final rule that delisted gray wolves in the lower 48 United States.

The Restoring American Energy Dominance Act, legislation introduced by Congresswoman Boebert in October to block the Biden Administration's proposed Fluid Mineral Leases and Leasing Process rule, has passed the House as part of the Interior Appropriations bill.

The proposed mandate would formally implement provisions from the partisan Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which increased the royalty rate for production on federal lands while also increasing and creating new fees for producers. This proposed rule increases energy production costs while further disincentivizing operators from producing domestically. These new costs will ultimately be passed along to consumers, driving up energy costs for American families and further shifting production to countries like Russia, Saudi Arabia, China, and Venezuela.
