_______________________________________________________________________

A BILL

To rename the Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge located in the State of
Texas as the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge''.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1.

Congress finds the following:

(1) On June 17, 2024, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray was
brutally murdered in Houston, Texas.

(2) Two illegal aliens who were allegedly members of the
Tren de Aragua gang have been charged with her murder.

(3) On March 5, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed
Executive Order 14229 renaming the area known as the Anahuac
National Wildlife Refuge to ``Jocelyn Nungaray National
Wildlife Refuge''.

(4) Ms. Nungaray loved animals and, given the close
proximity of her hometown of Houston, it is fitting that the
Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge be renamed in her honor.
SEC. 2.

(a) Renaming.--The Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge located in the
State of Texas shall be known as the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National
Wildlife Refuge''.

(b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document,
paper, or other record of the United States to the national wildlife
refuge referred to in subsection

(a) shall be deemed to be a reference
to the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge''.
