Protects wolves

Summary

The bill amends New York’s environmental conservation law to require anyone who takes a wild canid—coyote or wolf—to report the take and, for animals over 50 pounds or meeting department‑set criteria, submit the animal for genetic testing. Test results are posted publicly and, if a wolf is identified, the department may take actions to protect any nearby wolves. A status report on the state’s wolf population must be delivered to the legislature by April 1 2029, and the law expires on Jan 1 2030.
