  • Requires the Secretary of the Interior to initiate delisting procedures when a species meets its recovery plan goals or is determined to have sufficiently recovered to no longer need Endangered Species Act protections

  • Mandates removal of species from endangered/threatened lists if the Department of Interior receives substantial scientific evidence demonstrating recovery, bypassing standard procedural requirements

  • Requires delisting within 90 days when evidence shows a species was listed based on information that was inaccurate beyond reasonable margins of error, fraudulent, or misrepresentative

  • Bars individuals for 10 years from submitting listing petitions if the Secretary finds they knowingly submitted petitions containing inaccurate, fraudulent, or misrepresentative scientific data

  • Expands mandatory 5-year species status reviews to include evaluation of recovery plan criteria, original listing factors, potential listing errors, and whether the species still qualifies as endangered or threatened
