Dec 27, 2022

Summary

Updates the official map that defines the borders of the Red River National Wildlife Refuge, allowing for changes to its size and shape.

What problem does this solve?

The official map for the Red River National Wildlife Refuge was over 20 years old and did not reflect current conservation needs. This law replaces the old map with a new one to ensure the refuge's boundaries protect the right areas for wildlife.

What does this law do?

Updates official boundary map
Replaces the refuge's boundary map dated September 5, 2000, with a new map dated March 21, 2022, officially changing the area included in the refuge.

Who does this affect?

  • Landowners near the Red River National Wildlife Refuge
  • U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
  • Conservationists

What is the real world impact?

Modernizes refuge boundaries for better conservation
Updates the official map to reflect current conservation needs. This helps the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service better manage the refuge by adding important habitats or adjusting boundaries based on new information.

When does this start?

The changes in this law take effect on December 27, 2022.
