The Anahuac National Wildlife Refuge in Texas now has a new federal name. It is called the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge. The change affects official records and maps, but not how the refuge is run.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge Act is a Senate bill signed into law. The latest recorded action: Became Public Law No: 119-30.
Latest action on S. 1596: Became Public Law No: 119-30.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and agencies that use the refuge’s official name. Visitors, local communities, refuge staff, mapmakers, and federal offices may see the new name on signs, maps, records, and public materials. It does not appear to change access to the refuge or the rules for using the land.
Why this matters: The law matters because it changes the public name of a federal wildlife refuge while leaving the refuge itself the same. It creates a lasting federal memorial for Jocelyn Nungaray. It also makes the new name harder to undo because Congress has written it into law. The practical effects are mostly on signs, maps, documents, and records.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
