Renames the existing Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park to Ocmulgee Mounds National Park, establishes an adjacent Ocmulgee Mounds National Preserve, and authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire land for the new park and preserve from willing sellers (purchase, donation, or exchange). It creates an Advisory Council to advise on park management and Tribal interests, places ~126 acres of Tribe-owned land into federal trust for the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, and authorizes such sums as are necessary to carry out the Act.
The measure protects cultural and sacred sites, requires a general management plan within three years, preserves existing administration of Bond Swamp National Wildlife Refuge (with limited cultural cooperation), allows regulated hunting and fishing, forbids use of eminent domain for acquisitions, and provides a hiring preference for Tribal members for positions in the park unit.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
