The California Endangered Species Act requires the Fish and Game Commission to establish a list of endangered species and a list of threatened species and requires the commission to add or remove species from either list if it finds, upon the receipt of sufficient scientific information, that the action is warranted. The act prohibits the taking of an endangered or threatened species, except as specified.
This bill would require the commission to remove the Delta smelt from the endangered species list.

Under existing law, the Department of Fish and Wildlife exercises various functions with regard to the taking of fish and wildlife. This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation relating to Delta smelt.The California Constitution provides for the delegation to the Fish and Game Commission powers relating to the protection and propagation of fish and game.
