Bill > HR2774

This bill amends the Flood Control Act of 1941 to establish new requirements for repairing flood control infrastructure, particularly levees. Specifically, the bill requires the Secretary of the Army (who oversees flood control projects) to initiate repairs or restoration of a flood control work within 180 days of receiving a request from a non-Federal sponsor. The bill also modifies the cost-sharing provisions, changing the calculation of the non-Federal sponsor's financial responsibility by stipulating that they will be responsible for 25 percent of the difference in project costs. This legislation aims to expedite the repair and maintenance of critical flood control infrastructure, which is essential for protecting communities from potential flood damage. By setting a clear timeline for project initiation and clarifying cost-sharing expectations, the bill seeks to improve the responsiveness and efficiency of flood control project repairs.
