No FED in West Texas Act
Land Management: Blocking Expansion of Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- This bill stops the Department of the Interior from carrying out a 2023 plan to protect and expand land at the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge in West Texas.
- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service would be banned from finalizing or enforcing any part of the 'Land Protection Plan' that was designed to manage the area's natural resources.
- This action specifically targets one refuge, preventing the federal government from increasing its control or footprint over land in that specific part of the state.
- This matters to local residents and landowners because it prevents changes to how the land is used and keeps the federal government from expanding its reach in their community.
