The Senate Judiciary Committee legislation page lists S.5279, titled as a bill to amend title 36 to designate November as National American History and Founders Month, with last action 08/06/2026.
Assessments
Wicker materially advanced the promise in the same federal term by sponsoring/introducing S.5279, the National American History and Founders Month Act, with Kaine and McCormick. The bill matches the promised policy: amending title 36 to permanently designate November as National American History and Founders Month and encouraging civics and history observances. However, current official status shows the bill only read twice and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee on August 6, 2026, with no enactment yet, so the permanent designation has not been delivered.
