Bill overview
This bill, the 21st Century Endangered Species Transparency Act, aims to increase public access to the scientific and commercial data used by the government to determine if a species should be listed as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act. Specifically, it requires the Department of the Interior and the Department of Commerce to post this data online, with a limited exception for protecting state privacy laws. The goal is to promote transparency in the listing process and allow for greater public understanding of the decisions made.
