Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
This bill protects the wild horses in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. It tells the Interior Department to keep a healthy, genetically diverse herd of at least 150 horses in the park’s South Unit. The agency must create a cost‑effective plan within 120 days to manage the herd while avoiding harm to the park’s natural resources.
The bill blocks removing horses from federal land in the park unless it’s part of the plan to maintain genetic diversity, or in an emergency or to protect public health and safety. It also requires the agency to check the herd every year and share reports on the horses’ numbers, structure, and health with the public.
