What it does

The bill would establish the Southern Border Wall National Monument across portions of California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas to protect the southern border wall from alteration, covering approximately 289,920 acres of land and interests tied to the wall. It directs the Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of Land Management, to administer the monument, coordinate with federal agencies and tribal governments via memoranda of understanding, and complete a general management plan within three years of funding availability for submission to Congress. The monument’s boundaries are to be defined by a map on file with the BLM for public inspection.
