This bill repeals an existing Washington statute, RCW 77.12.035, and two cited session law provisions (2000 c 107 s 211 and 1995 c 370 s 1). The bill was introduced in the 2025 regular session, read first in the House on February 4, 2025, and referred to the House Committee on Agriculture & Natural Resources. Sponsors named are Representatives Springer, Fitzgibbon, Berg, and Ramel. Legally, the change is a repeal of existing law; it does not, in the extracted facts provided, create a new crime, amend penalties, or add procedural requirements. The title of RCW 77.12.035 indicates the repealed statute concerned protection of grizzly bears, limits on transplantation or introduction, and negotiations with federal and state agencies, but the text of that RCW and the cited session laws were not included in the provided material, so the specific provisions removed and their practical effects cannot be determined from these facts alone.

If enacted, this bill would remove the state law identified as RCW 77.12.035 and two related session-law provisions, which means whatever specific rules, limits, or negotiation requirements about grizzly bear protection, transplantation or introduction, and coordination with federal and state agencies that were in that statute would no longer apply. The most directly affected parties are state wildlife managers and federal partners involved in grizzly bear management; they may gain or lose legal restrictions or required negotiation steps, which could change their available options, how they allocate staff time, and the legal risks of moving or introducing bears, but any precise change to responsibilities, costs, or funding is unclear because the actual text of the repealed statute and session laws was not provided.
