Big Bend National Park Boundary Adjustment Act
This bill allows the Secretary of the Interior to voluntarily acquire approximately 6,100 acres of land (through donation or exchange) to expand Big Bend National Park, as shown on a specific November 2022 map. The acquired land would become part of the park, with the boundary officially revised to include it. The bill prohibits using eminent domain or forced takings for this land acquisition. It directly affects the park's physical boundaries and landowners whose property is acquired through voluntary means.
