Who this affects: This bill mainly affects landowners near Big Bend National Park whose land is shown on the official map. They could donate land or agree to a land swap, but the government could not force them to give it up. It also affects park visitors, nearby communities, researchers, and the National Park Service because added land could change future access, recreation, conservation work, and park management.

Why this matters: This bill could protect more land around Big Bend National Park, but only if landowners willingly take part. Once land joins the park, the National Park Service would manage it for conservation and public recreation under federal park rules. The bill could shape future access, land use, and conservation near the park. Its effects on tourism, local economies, and natural resources are not spelled out in the bill.

Key provisions in H.R. 2323

  • The Secretary of the Interior may add about 6,100 acres next to Big Bend National Park. This can include land or partial rights in land.

  • Any land the government gets under the bill must be added to Big Bend National Park’s official boundary.
