Bill > S2579

This bill proposes to rename the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to the Endangered Species Recovery Act of 2025. Specifically, the bill would modify the first section of the existing law to change its official citation from the "Endangered Species Act of 1973" to the "Endangered Species Recovery Act". Additionally, the bill includes a provision that would automatically update all existing references to the old law name in any United States government documents, regulations, maps, papers, or other records to reflect the new name. While the bill does not substantively alter the contents or provisions of the original act, it represents a symbolic rebranding that may be intended to emphasize a focus on species recovery and conservation efforts. The renaming would apply across all official federal documentation, ensuring a consistent reference to the law under its new title.
