Who has to consult under the Illinois Endangered Species Protection Act and the Illinois Natural Areas Preservation Act?
State agencies or units of local government must consult the Department about proposed actions that they will authorize, fund or perform. Private parties do not have to consult, but they are liable for prohibited taking of state-listed plants or animals or for adversely modifying a Nature Preserve or a Land and Water Reserve. Home rule governments may delegate this responsibility, through duly enacted ordinances, to the parties seeking authorization or funding of the action.
