HR 1544 United States House · 118th Congress

Big Bend National Park Boundary Adjustment Act

HR 1544 would add approximately 6,100 acres of land to Big Bend National Park by authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to acquire these lands through donation, purchase from willing sellers, or land exchange. The bill specifies that the boundary adjustment must follow a map dated November 2022 and requires the Secretary to revise the park's boundary to include acquired lands. It explicitly prohibits the use of eminent domain or condemnation for this acquisition. This bill directly affects the park's boundaries and any landowners who voluntarily sell or donate property within the designated area.
