Summary

This bill amends the Miccosukee Reserved Area Act to expand the Miccosukee Reserved Area in Everglades National Park by adding an area known as Osceola Camp. The expansion is depicted on a specific map (numbered 160/188443, dated July 2023) that will be kept available for public inspection at National Park Service offices and filed with Miami-Dade County and the Miccosukee Indian Tribe. The bill also requires the Secretary of Interior, in consultation with the Miccosukee Indian Tribe, to take appropriate actions to protect structures within the Osceola Camp area from flooding. The Secretary must complete these flood protection measures within 2 years of the bill's enactment. The expansion increases the territory within Everglades National Park that is managed under the Miccosukee Reserved Area Act.
