Limiting Federal Protection for Species Found Only Within One State.
This bill removes federal authority, including the Endangered Species Act, over plants and animals that exist entirely within the borders of a single state and are not traded commercially. If passed, the protection of these specific local species would become solely the responsibility of the individual state government. This shift means federal conservation standards would no longer apply to these species, potentially changing local land use and environmental regulations.
Key points
Removes federal regulation (like the Endangered Species Act) for species found only within one state's borders.
Applies only to species that are not part of any national commercial market.
Transfers full responsibility for protecting these local species to state governments.
