Summary

This bill would amend the Food Security Act of 1985 to expand the purposes of the Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). The amendment adds flood prevention and mitigation, and improvement of flood resiliency, to the list of natural resource concerns that the RCPP can address at regional and watershed scales. The existing purposes—conserving soil, water, wildlife, and agricultural land—remain unchanged. The bill expands the program's scope to include addressing the effects of flooding and drought on eligible land.
