Bill overview
This bill allows states to take on some of the federal government’s responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act when it comes to highway projects. Specifically, states can assume duties related to reviewing the impact of highway construction on endangered species, similar to what federal agencies currently do. The bill establishes a program for states to participate, outlining requirements for agreements between the state and the Secretary of the Fish and Wildlife Service, and making adjustments to existing regulations to accommodate this new framework.
