Summary
This bill removes the lesser prairie-chicken from the federal lists of threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, including all distinct population segments of the species. It also amends the Endangered Species Act to prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from designating the lesser prairie-chicken as threatened or endangered in the future. The bill would immediately delist the species and prevent its future listing under the federal endangered species protections.
