Law

This bill, introduced by Mr. Hoeven, would require the government to keep a permanent herd of wild horses in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It sets a minimum population of 150 horses to ensure the herd stays healthy and genetically diverse.
The Department of the Interior would have 120 days to create a management plan. This plan must find a balance between taking care of the horses and making sure they do not harm the park's natural environment or other wildlife.
The policy strictly limits when horses can be removed from the park. They could only be moved to help the herd's genetics, during emergencies, or if there is a threat to public health and safety.
To keep the public informed, the government would have to check on the horses every year. They must release a public report showing how many horses there are and how healthy the herd is.
