This law officially renames the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Texas as the "Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge." The refuge's land, wildlife protections, and management remain unchanged, with only the official name updated on government maps, documents, laws, and records.
The change honors Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old from Houston murdered in June 2024. It affects federal agencies managing the refuge and any documents or signage referencing its name.
Official references to the refuge, including signage, paperwork, and legal records, will need to be updated to reflect the new name. Public access, environmental protections, funding, and daily operations remain unaffected.
