Blocks Muleshoe Refuge land plan

This bill would prohibit the Secretary of the Interior from finalizing, implementing, administering, or enforcing the Land Protection Plan described in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service document "Final Land Protection Plan & Environmental Assessment Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge" (February 2023). If enacted, this would stop the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from carrying out the specific land-protection measures in that plan. The bill does not provide funding, create alternative plans, set a phase-in or sunset, or add enforcement penalties. If passed, households and businesses near the refuge would likely keep current land-use rules.
