Endangered Species Transparency and Reasonableness Act of 2025

What this bill does

  • The bill requires federal agencies to publish online the scientific data used to determine if species are endangered or threatened.
  • States, tribes, and counties are affected as their data is automatically included and they must receive information before determinations are made.
  • The bill caps attorney's fees in endangered species lawsuits and creates a federal spending database for ESA litigation.
