Bill overview
This bill, the Armed Forces Endangered Species Exemption Act, would allow the military to take actions that would otherwise be prohibited under the Endangered Species Act. Specifically, it creates exemptions for military personnel engaged in national defense operations, allowing them to harm or kill endangered species and to damage or destroy their habitats. The bill also restricts the Department of the Interior’s ability to designate military lands as critical habitat and limits the department’s consultation requirements regarding these areas.
