Bill overview
This bill, the State, Tribal, and Local Species Transparency and Recovery Act, aims to increase transparency in the process of determining whether a species is endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act. It requires federal agencies to share the data used to make these decisions with affected states and to consider information submitted by state, tribal, and local governments when making those determinations. The bill also clarifies that ‘best available data’ includes information provided by these local entities. Ultimately, the goal is to improve collaboration and incorporate local knowledge into federal endangered species decisions.
