Bill overview
This bill amends the Endangered Species Act to expand the process for obtaining exemptions from its requirements. Specifically, it allows federal agencies and state governors to request exemptions if an agency action would violate the act’s protections or if a modification or alternative to the action could negatively impact national security or cause significant economic harm. The bill requires consultation with the National Security Council and the Director of the National Economic Council before a final determination is made on such exemptions.
