To rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge located in the State of Texas as the "Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge".
Summary
H.R. 3179 proposes to rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge, located in Anahuac, Texas, to the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge. The bill has been approved by the House Committee on Natural Resources and is now eligible for a floor vote in the full House of Representatives.
If enacted, this bill would change the official name of the wildlife refuge but would not alter its operations, management, or conservation mission. The refuge would continue to serve its current function as a protected area for wildlife habitat and conservation. The renaming would be primarily symbolic, honoring the person for whom the refuge is being named while maintaining all existing protections and uses of the natural area.
