Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
This bill would create a new protected wilderness area, called the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness, inside the Río Grande del Norte National Monument. It would also change the monument’s boundary. These steps are meant to set aside land for long‑term conservation and careful management of natural areas .
In everyday terms, this means certain lands in and around the monument would get stronger protection, and the official map of the monument would be updated to match the new lines. People who visit or live near the monument could see clearer rules about how these lands are managed and preserved .
