Senators Jon Ossoff (D-GA), Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Representatives Austin Scott (R-GA), and Sanford Bishop (D-GA) have introduced legislation to establish Georgia's first national park and preserve. The bill, known as the Ocmulgee Mounds National Park and Preserve Establishment Act, would federally protect the area in Macon, Georgia.
