AI Summary

This bill establishes the Western Riverside County National Wildlife Refuge, which aims to conserve and restore wildlife habitats, protect threatened and endangered species, and provide for wildlife connectivity and migratory corridors within the Western Riverside County Multiple Species Habitat Conservation Plan Area. The Secretary of the Interior, through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, will administer the refuge and acquire lands, waters, and interests within the designated boundaries, with the exception that lands owned by the State of California and its political subdivisions can only be acquired through donation. The bill also requires federal departments and agencies to assess the suitability of their properties within the refuge's boundaries for inclusion and transfer any suitable properties to the Secretary's administrative jurisdiction.
