 S.1596

 One Hundred Nineteenth Congress

 of the

 United States of America

 AT THE FIRST SESSION

 Begun and held at the City of Washington on Friday,
 the third day of January, two thousand and twenty five

 An Act

 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. SHORT TITLE.
 This Act may be cited as the ``Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife 
Refuge Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
 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 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed 
 Executive Order 14229 (90 Fed. Reg. 11585; relating to honoring 
 Jocelyn Nungaray) 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. 3. RENAMING OF ANAHUAC NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE.

    (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''.
