Latest action: Became Public Law No: 119-30.
Signed into law by the President (or passed over a veto). Now public law.
The President signed the bill into law (or Congress overrode a veto). It's now public law and federal agencies will implement it.
Creates a national wildlife refuge named after Jocelyn Nungaray.
The problem
A specific location lacks formal protection as a wildlife refuge to preserve natural habitat and wildlife conservation efforts.
The proposal
Establishes the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge, designating federal land for wildlife protection and conservation management.
The impact
Wildlife and ecosystems gain protection; local communities near the refuge area may experience changes to land use and outdoor recreation access.
The refuge protects animal habitats and ecosystems from development. It helps preserve biodiversity and natural environments for future generations.
National wildlife refuges offer public access for hiking, birdwatching, and nature education. Communities gain outdoor recreation opportunities and learning spaces.
Federal refuge status provides permanent protection against future development. This ensures ecosystems remain protected for decades to come.
Refuges enable active management to restore damaged ecosystems. This can improve water quality, soil health, and plant and animal populations.
Some existing land uses like grazing or development may become prohibited. Local property owners may lose access or revenue opportunities.
Federal government must fund ongoing refuge management and maintenance. This requires taxpayer resources without guaranteed direct economic returns.
Federal management reduces local community decision-making authority over the land. Communities have less say in how the refuge operates.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
