Bill > HR504

This bill amends the existing Miccosukee Reserved Area Act to expand the Miccosukee Reserved Area (MRA) by including the 'Osceola Camp' area within Everglades National Park. Specifically, the bill adds a new section to the existing law that defines the Osceola Camp as part of the MRA, with a detailed map (dated July 2023) to be kept on file in the National Park Service offices and with Miami-Dade County and the Miccosukee Tribe. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of the Interior to develop and implement flood protection measures for structures within the Osceola Camp area within two years of the bill's enactment, in consultation with the Miccosukee Tribe. This legislation aims to provide legal recognition for the Osceola Camp area as part of the Miccosukee Reserved Area and ensure protection of its structures from flooding, demonstrating a collaborative approach to managing and preserving this specific area of the Everglades National Park.
