Babin introduced H.R. 10241, the I-47 Future Interstate Act of 2026, during his current House term, matching the promised bill and policy goals. However, the record provided shows only introduction and referral to committee, not enactment, redesignation of U.S. 287 as I-47, final High-Priority Corridor status, uniform standards, or completed infrastructure/economic-development outcomes. This is a concrete same-term legislative effort but not full delivery.
