Ruby Mountains Protection Act

This bill withdraws approximately 309,272 acres in the Ruby Mountains subdistrict of Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and 39,926 acres in Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge from mineral leasing, preventing future mining and drilling on these federal lands. It directly affects land management by the U.S. Forest Service and Fish and Wildlife Service, preserving these areas from commercial mineral development. The withdrawal includes an exception for noncommercial refuge management activities by the Fish and Wildlife Service. Maps defining the exact boundaries are made publicly available for inspection at relevant federal offices.
