“On agreeing to the Gosar amendment (A011) Agreed to by voice vote.”
This amendment changes the rules the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) uses to prove when a Mexican wolf has attacked or killed livestock. It aims to update the standards for confirming these attacks, which often determines whether a rancher can receive financial compensation for their loss.
