AI Summary
This bill lets the Interior Department expand the boundary of Big Bend National Park in Texas. It allows the government to add about 6,100 acres by accepting donated land or by trading land, using an official map that the public can view at National Park Service offices. When any of this land is added, the park boundary must be updated, and the new land will be managed like the rest of the park.
The bill does not allow taking land by force for this purpose. No eminent domain or condemnation can be used.
- Who is affected: Big Bend National Park and people who own or manage land shown on the official map; visitors who use the park.
- What changes: The park boundary may grow by about 6,100 acres; any added land becomes part of the park and follows park rules.
- How land can be added: Only by donation or land exchange; no forced taking of land.
- When it happens: After any of the land is added, the boundary is updated, and the land is managed as part of the park.
