Block Muleshoe refuge land plan
The bill would stop the Secretary of the Interior from finalizing, implementing, administering, or enforcing the Muleshoe land protection plan. It applies to the Fish and Wildlife Service plan dated February 2023 and to substantially similar plans. If enacted, landowners, ranchers, lessees, and nearby businesses would avoid new federal land‑use rules from that plan. Visitors and conservation groups would face fewer habitat protections and less public access safeguards.
