Bill overview
The EMPOWERS Act amends the Endangered Species Act to require petitioners listing, delisting, or reclassifying endangered or threatened species to notify county and state officials of their intent to submit a petition. It also mandates that the Secretary consult with these local governments during the review process, seeking their input on potential threats and the impact of proposed actions. Furthermore, the bill requires the Secretary to provide 90 days’ notice and opportunity for comment before implementing regulations related to endangered species, and ensures that local government advice is considered in final determinations.
