Bill 119 HR 181, also known as the "Artificial Propagation Act," aims to amend the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The main goal of this bill is to ensure that artificially propagated animals are given the same protections and considerations as naturally propagated animals under the Endangered Species Act.
The bill recognizes the importance of artificial propagation in conservation efforts and seeks to level the playing field for these animals. By treating artificially propagated animals the same as naturally propagated animals, the bill aims to encourage and support efforts to breed and reintroduce endangered species back into their natural habitats.
In addition to addressing the treatment of artificially propagated animals, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to the Endangered Species Act. These additional purposes may include clarifications, updates, or improvements to the existing legislation to better protect and conserve endangered species.
Overall, Bill 119 HR 181 seeks to strengthen the Endangered Species Act by ensuring that all animals, whether naturally or artificially propagated, receive equal protection and support in conservation efforts. This bill reflects a bipartisan effort to improve the effectiveness of the Endangered Species Act and promote the conservation of endangered species in the United States.
