Congress.gov lists H.R.5497 as sponsored by Rep. Thomas P. Tiffany, introduced September 18, 2025, with latest action on February 11, 2026: the House Natural Resources Committee ordered it reported by a 20-17 vote. The tracker still shows the bill at the introduced stage, with House passage, Senate passage, presentment, and becoming law not completed.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Tiffany took concrete legislative action and got the redesignation bill through committee, but the bill had not become law as of the refresh.

The official National Park Service page still identifies the unit as "Apostle Islands National Lakeshore • Wisconsin" and describes Apostle Islands National Lakeshore as the current park unit. The page shows last updated February 18, 2026.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The federal land unit remains officially listed by NPS as a national lakeshore, so the promised redesignation has not been delivered as of August 24, 2026.

The promised outcome was a completed federal redesignation of Apostle Islands National Lakeshore as a national park. As of August 24, 2026, the National Park Service still identifies the unit as Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, and Tiffany's H.R.5497 had advanced through House Natural Resources Committee but had not passed the House, passed the Senate, been presented to the President, or become law. Because Tiffany sponsored and materially advanced a redesignation bill, this merits an effort badge, but the promised outcome itself has not been delivered.
