What the document says
“The Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge located in the State of Texas shall be known as the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge''.”
Subsection (a), and the operative provision of the Act. It renames the refuge in Texas by statute. The Act amends no older law to do it; the sentence stands on its own. Section 2 records that Executive Order 14229 had already set the same name in March 2025.
What the document actually says
“The Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge located in the State of Texas shall be known as the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge''.”
That sentence, in plain words
The land in Texas has a new name. It is now the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge.
What this is about
A wildlife refuge is land set aside for wild animals. This one sits near the coast of Texas. Its old name was Anahuac.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
