AI Summary

This bill, the Promoting Resourceful and Effective Deterrents Against Threats Or Risks involving Species Act or the PREDATORS Act, amends the John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act to establish the Theodore Roosevelt Genius Prize for reducing human-predator conflict. The bill creates an advisory board to select topics, issue problem statements, and advise on technological innovations to reduce human-predator conflict using non-lethal means. The Secretary of the Interior is required to enter into an agreement with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to administer the prize competition, and the Secretary will appoint judges to select the annual winners.
