AMENDMENT TO HOUSE BILL 2425
AMENDMENT NO. ______. Amend House Bill 2425 by replacing
everything after the enacting clause with the following:
"Section 5. The Illinois Endangered Species Protection Act
is amended by changing Section 7 and by adding Section 5.6 as
follows:
(520 ILCS 10/5.6 new)
Sec. 5.6. Federal pre-Listing agreements and conference
reports. A permit for incidental taking under Section 5.5 shall
not be required:
(1) on land that is subject to and for activities that are
implemented in compliance with a federal Candidate
Conservation Agreement or Candidate Conservation Agreement
with Assurances approved by the United States Fish and Wildlife
Service under Section 10 of the federal Endangered Species Act
of 1973; or

10100HB2425ham001 - 2 - LRB101 05156 SLF 59396 a
(2) for covered conservation practices conducted in this
State within a federal program under a Conference Report
authorized under Section 7 of the federal Endangered Species
Act of 1973 on land subject to that program.
(520 ILCS 10/7) (from Ch. 8, par. 337)
Sec. 7. Any species or subspecies of animal or plant
designated as endangered or threatened by the Secretary of the
Interior of the United States pursuant to the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, P.L. 93-205, as amended, shall be
automatically listed as an endangered or threatened species
under this Act and thereby placed on the Illinois List by the
Board without notice or public hearing. Upon an automatic
listing of a federally-listed species, the Board shall
immediately publish a notice for an informational hearing in
accordance with this Section and conduct said hearing within 14
day of the automatic listing. The Board may list, as endangered
or threatened, species of animals or plants which have
reproduced in or otherwise significantly used, as in migration
or overwintering, the area which is now the State of Illinois,
if there is scientific evidence that the species qualify as
endangered or threatened as these terms are defined in this
Act. The Board may delist any non-federally-listed species for
which it finds satisfactory scientific evidence that its wild
or natural populations are no longer endangered or threatened.
Listing, delisting, or change of listing status for any

10100HB2425ham001 - 3 - LRB101 05156 SLF 59396 a
non-federally listed species shall be made only after a public
hearing.
Notice of such hearing shall be published at least 7 days
before the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation
throughout the state and shall be mailed to any person who has,
in writing requested such notice from the agency holding the
hearing. All persons heard or represented at a hearing and all
persons who requested from the responsible agency notice of
such hearing, shall be given a written summary of any action
taken by the Board or Department relative to the hearing
subject.
Upon listing or delisting or change of listing status by
the Board, the Director shall file a certified copy of the
names of the species so listed, delisted or changed with the
Secretary of State as provided in "The Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act", approved September 22, 1975, as amended.
