To amend the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to provide for improved precision in the listing, delisting, and downlisting of endangered species and potentially endangered species.

Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.

Bill 119 HR 106 aims to make changes to the Endangered Species Act of 1973 in order to improve the accuracy and efficiency of listing, delisting, and downlisting endangered species and potentially endangered species. The bill seeks to provide more precise criteria for determining the status of these species, ensuring that only those truly in need of protection are listed as endangered. This would help to prevent unnecessary restrictions on land use and development while still protecting species that are truly at risk. The bill also aims to streamline the process for delisting or downlisting species that have recovered or no longer meet the criteria for protection under the Act. Overall, the goal of the bill is to strike a balance between conservation efforts and economic development, ensuring that the Endangered Species Act is effectively protecting species while also allowing for responsible land use and development.
