Bill overview
This bill aims to prevent the listing of lesser prairie chickens as threatened or endangered species in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico. It modifies the Endangered Species Act to specifically exclude these populations from federal protection, effectively delisting them. The bill also prohibits the Secretary of the Interior from listing any future populations of lesser prairie chickens in these states as threatened or endangered. This legislation prioritizes local management of the species over federal listing decisions.
