SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Endangered and threatened species. Authorizes the Board of Game and Inland Fisheries to adopt regulations to adopt regulations that allows the (i) the taking, possession, exportation, transportation, or release of animals occurring in experimental populations as designated in conservation plans developed by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries; and (2) incidental taking of certain endangered or threatened species of fish and wildlife so long as the project enhances the long-term survival of the species and the taking is at a minimum level. The bill exempts the incidental taking of animals from designated experimental populations from the currently authorized prohibitions and penalties. Currently, the Board may only permit the taking, transportation, exportation or possession of any endangered or threatened species of fish or wildlife for zoological, educational, scientific, or preservation purposes.
