Endangered Species Act rules lifted for prairie-chicken
This bill would remove the lesser prairie-chicken from Endangered Species Act lists. It would also bar the Secretary from listing the bird again as threatened or endangered. This would end ESA-based rules and permits tied to this species, including all distinct population segments. If enacted, landowners, farmers, and energy or development projects in the bird’s range could face fewer federal limits. It would take effect upon enactment and would apply even if other laws say otherwise.
