Bill overview
This bill seeks to remove the lesser prairie-chicken from the lists of threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act. It also modifies the Endangered Species Act to prevent the Fish and Wildlife Service from designating the lesser prairie-chicken as threatened or endangered in the future. The goal is to remove federal protections currently in place for this bird species. This action would allow for greater flexibility in land management practices that may affect the bird’s habitat.
