    How might the 180-day approval deadline and auto-approval mechanism change the balance of power between state wildlife agencies and federal oversight?

  2. 02

    What safeguards, if any, does the bill include to ensure auto-approved plans meet federal conservation standards before funding is released?

  3. 03

    How could this approval timeline affect states with limited wildlife management capacity compared to states with established conservation infrastructure?
