Faster Delisting of Recovered or Erroneously Listed Endangered Species.
This bill amends the Endangered Species Act, requiring the government to quickly remove species from protection lists once recovery goals are met. Crucially, it mandates immediate delisting if the original decision to protect a species was based on fraudulent, inaccurate, or misleading scientific data. This legislation could potentially reduce regulatory burdens on land use and development previously imposed by species protection.
