Steube introduced the bill in the House, but Congress.gov shows no action beyond referral to Natural Resources, so the claim has only been advanced as far as introduction/referral in the House during the current term.

To do so, I introduced H.R. 642, the Myakka Wild and Scenic River Act of 2025, to add the 34-mile segment of the Myakka River in Sarasota County, Florida, to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System... This letter asks that the Committee on Natural Resources consider H.R. 642, under regular order, and provide members of the committee the opportunity to review its merits and support.

The letter confirms active lobbying for committee consideration, but it is still only a request for consideration rather than evidence of enactment or committee passage.

The bill text states that it is 'To amend the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate the portion of the Myakka River lying within Sarasota County, Florida as a component of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.'

The text matches the claim exactly, but the presence of text alone does not show enactment or successful advancement beyond introduction.
