Bill overview
This bill modifies the California Endangered Species Act to allow for the permitting of the ‘take’ – meaning harming or interacting with – of species proposed for listing as endangered or threatened, particularly when it relates to renewable electrical generation facilities. It streamlines the process for these facilities by allowing take of species proposed for listing if specific conditions are met, including minimizing impacts and mitigating harm. The bill also establishes a reporting requirement for the Department of Fish and Wildlife to track these authorizations and their effectiveness.
