Cerro de la Olla Wilderness Establishment Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Cerro de la Olla Wilderness Establishment Act
This bill designates specified federal land administered by the Bureau of Land Management in Taos County, New Mexico, comprising 13,098 acres in the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, to be known as the Cerro de la Olla Wilderness.
The Department of the Interior shall enter into a cooperative agreement with New Mexico that specifies, subject to certain prohibition provisions under the Wilderness Act, the terms and conditions under which wildlife management activities in the wilderness may be carried out.
Subject to such agreement and such prohibition provisions, Interior may authorize the maintenance of any existing structure or facility for wildlife water development projects (including guzzlers) in the wilderness, if
- the structure or facility would enhance wilderness values by promoting healthy, viable, and more naturally distributed wildlife populations; and
- the visual impacts of the structure or facility on the wilderness can reasonably be minimized.
The bill modifies the boundary of the monument.
