What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill makes changes to several Department of Agriculture programs that deal with water, flooding, and dams. It allows the government to do more than just fix immediate problems after a natural disaster — it can also take steps to better protect watersheds from future damage if that's in the best long-term interest. For projects that fix aging dams in areas with limited resources, the bill increases the share the federal government pays from 65% to up to 90% of the total cost. It also updates a conservation partnership program to specifically include preventing and reducing the effects of flooding and drought and improving flood resilience.
