Subcommittee Hearings Held
This bill requires the federal government to publish online the scientific data used to list species as endangered or threatened under the Endangered Species Act, and to publicly report all costs associated with lawsuits filed under the Act.
Decisions about which animals and plants get federal protection can shape what happens on millions of acres of land , affecting farming, construction, energy projects, and local economies. This bill would let anyone go online and examine the actual scientific evidence behind those decisions, making it easier to question or support them.
