S.171

Removes the lesser prairie-chicken from the lists of threatened and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

The bill removes the lesser prairie-chicken from the lists of threatened species and endangered species under the Endangered Species Act of 1973. It also amends the Act to prevent the Secretary from determining that the lesser prairie-chicken is an endangered species or a threatened species. This change affects the lesser prairie-chicken, a species currently listed under the Act, by excluding it from the protections and requirements of the Act.
