Renames a Texas wildlife refuge in honor of Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl.

A bill would rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Texas to honor Jocelyn Nungaray, a 12-year-old girl murdered in Houston. This change would make official a name change already started by a presidential order. It would affect visitors to the refuge and federal agencies that maintain official records.

What Would Change

Today, the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge is known by that name. However, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order on March 5, 2025, to rename it. If this bill passes, the refuge would be legally renamed the 'Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge.' All official federal records would then legally refer to this new name, making the change permanent under law.

Key Provisions

Renames the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Texas as the 'Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge.'
