Bill overview
This bill clarifies how the Endangered Species Act (ESA) applies to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Specifically, it limits the ESA’s impact on certain actions taken by the NFIP administrator, such as flood risk reduction projects and property management. The bill also directs the Fish and Wildlife Service to review and withdraw existing biological opinions that assess the program’s effects on endangered species. Ultimately, the goal is to streamline the NFIP’s operations while still considering potential impacts on protected species.
