This legislation, titled the "No Federal Expansion Designation in West Texas Act" , aims to prevent the implementation of a specific land management plan. It explicitly prohibits the Secretary of the Interior from finalizing, implementing, administering, or enforcing the "Final Land Protection Plan & Environmental Assessment Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge" dated February 2023. Furthermore, the bill extends this prohibition to any substantially similar land protection plan. This measure ensures that the designated plan for the Muleshoe National Wildlife Refuge cannot be put into effect, thereby limiting federal action concerning the refuge's land use.
