Bishop materially supported the promised federal legislation in the current term by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R. 9416, the Ocmulgee Mounds National Park Redesignation Act, and the bill received a House Natural Resources subcommittee hearing on July 1, 2026. The bill matches the promise's core substance: redesignating Ocmulgee Mounds as Georgia's first national park and protecting cultural and religious sites. However, as of the available record through August 14, 2026, the measure had not passed Congress or become law, so the park redesignation and protections were not fully delivered.
