Endangered Species Management: Increased State Control and Property Rights

This act changes how endangered species are protected, giving states more control over species found only within their borders. It also introduces new rules for compensating landowners whose property value decreases due to species protection laws. Additionally, it makes it easier to take certain birds like black vultures and ravens in specific situations.
Key points
States gain exclusive control over endangered species found only within their borders, potentially speeding up local decisions.
Landowners can seek compensation if species protection rules reduce their property value by at least 50%.
Taking of black vultures is allowed if they endanger property, and ravens for population control if they pose a risk to endangered species recovery.
All endangered species lists will require Congressional approval and automatically expire after 5 years unless re-approved.
Federal agencies must report costs incurred due to compliance with endangered species laws to their customers.
