This bill renames the Endangered Species Act of 1973 to the "Endangered Species Recovery Act." The change is largely symbolic, updating the official name of the existing 1973 law to reflect a focus on species recovery rather than just endangered species protection. The bill requires all federal references to the old name—whether in laws, regulations, documents, or other official records—to automatically refer to the newly named act. No funding is specified, and the bill does not appear to make substantive changes to the law's requirements or implementation. The measure affects all federal agencies and anyone working under endangered species protections, though the practical impact is primarily administrative.
