Bill > HR9533

This bill, the ESA Amendments Act of 2024, proposes several key changes to the Endangered Species Act of 1973. It would establish a national listing work plan that prioritizes species for listing determinations, incentivize wildlife conservation on private lands through Candidate Conservation Agreements with Assurances, provide greater incentives for recovering listed species, increase transparency and accountability in the recovery process, and limit the scope of "reasonable and prudent measures" that can be imposed under the Act. The bill aims to optimize conservation efforts, promote private land stewardship, and streamline the implementation of the Endangered Species Act.
