GovInfo lists H.R. 4144 as introduced by Mullin and referred to House Natural Resources. The title requires USGS groundwater-rise mapping and impact study.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Kevin Mullin formally sponsored H.R. 4144 in the 119th Congress. The bill would require the U.S. Geological Survey to map future groundwater rise and study impacts on infrastructure and public health. This directly fulfills the promise to support federal mapping, forecasting, and mitigation planning, though GovInfo shows the bill remained at introduction/referral status.

The promise was to support federal mapping, forecasting, and mitigation planning for groundwater rise, not necessarily to enact a completed program. As a sitting U.S. Representative, Mullin sponsored H.R. 4144 in the 119th Congress to require USGS groundwater-rise mapping and impact study, and later sought FY2027 appropriations funding for USGS mapping across coastal communities. Those are direct federal legislative and budgetary actions within his current term that materially satisfy a support pledge, even though final enactment is not shown.
