Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge Act

Introduced: May 5, 2025
Environment & Climate
Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill would rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Texas to the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge. It includes findings that reference the murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, notes alleged gang involvement in that case, and cites an executive order honoring her. The core change is ceremonial: once enacted, all official references to the refuge would be renamed to the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge. The bill does not create new programs or funding; it simply updates the official name and directs that references in laws, maps, and documents reflect the new name.
