HR 5920 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
District of Columbia Flood Prevention Act of 2025
To amend the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 to allow the District of Columbia to receive Federal funding under such Act, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 to make the District of Columbia eligible to receive federal funding under the act. Currently, the law provides funding to states for coastal zone management programs, but the District was not included in the definition of eligible recipients. The amendment adds the District of Columbia to the statute, allowing it to access these federal coastal zone management funds.
