Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend the Miccosukee Reserved Area Act to authorize the expansion of the Miccosukee Reserved Area and to carry out activities to protect structures within the Osceola Camp from flooding, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Miccosukee Reserved Area Act to expand the Miccosukee Reserved Area (MRA) by including an additional area known as the Osceola Camp, which is located within Everglades National Park. The bill requires that a specific map depicting this expansion, dated July 2023, be kept available for public inspection in National Park Service offices and filed with Miami-Dade County and the Miccosukee Tribe. Furthermore, the bill mandates that within two years of enactment, the Secretary (presumably of the Interior) must consult with the Miccosukee Tribe to develop and implement flood protection measures for structures within the newly added Osceola Camp area. This legislation appears aimed at both formally recognizing the Miccosukee Tribe's connection to this specific parcel of land and ensuring the protection of their structures from potential flooding, which is a significant environmental concern in the low-lying Everglades region.
