No FED in West Texas Act
This bill, known as the No FED in West Texas Act, prevents the Secretary of the Interior from finalizing or enforcing a specific land protection plan for the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge. The legislation directly affects federal management of the refuge by prohibiting the implementation of a February 2023 document that would have restricted land use. By blocking this plan, the bill aims to stop the designation of certain areas as protected zones within the refuge.
