SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The Utah House has passed a measure to let owners of wolf-damaged livestock in parts of Utah seek compensation.
The House voted 69-1 on Tuesday to advance House Bill 32 to the Senate.
Animals meeting the definition of livestock are sheep, cattle, goats and turkeys.
People can't get compensation in areas of the state where wolves are protected under the Endangered Species Act.
Damage caused by mountain lions, bears and eagles already is covered.
Rep. Melvin Brown, a Coalville Republican, is sponsoring the bill.
