Section 2112.  


Latest version.
  • If a recovery strategy for one of the species identified pursuant to Section 2105 or 2106 includes policies to guide the department's issuance of memoranda of understanding pursuant to Section 2081 and the department's consultation procedures pursuant to Section 2090, the department shall develop and adopt rules and guidelines to implement those policies. The rules and guidelines shall be based upon the best available scientific evidence and shall be consistent with the recovery strategy adopted. The rules and guidelines may clearly specify conditions and circumstances under which the taking of a species listed as a threatened species or endangered species would be prohibited by the department, or, conversely, when it would not require a memorandum of understanding pursuant to Section 2081.
