Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 220.
This bill amends the Miccosukee Reserved Area Act to add a portion of Everglades National Park known as Osceola Camp to the Miccosukee Reserved Area, using a July 2023 map to define the addition. It requires the Secretary of the Interior, in consultation with the Tribe, to take appropriate actions within two years to protect structures in the newly added area from flooding.

Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill amends existing law to expand a reserved area and directs protective action for structures, with clear statement of purpose and statutory placement but limited operational detail.
