Federal SB4146 amends the Endangered Species Act to require the Secretary to use state-collected data in listing decisions.
Federal SB4146, the Local Data for Better Conservation Act, amends the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to require the Secretary to accept and integrate state-collected data when making decisions to list or delist species as threatened or endangered. This change aims to incorporate local data into federal conservation efforts, potentially improving the accuracy and effectiveness of species protection measures.
