This bill would change federal flood insurance rules to deal with ecosystem restoration projects. In short, it connects work like restoring wetlands or rivers with how flood insurance is managed. The goal appears to be reducing flood risk by using nature-based projects, though the text provided does not give details on exactly how the rules would change .
| Key point | What it means |
|---|---|
| Who is affected | Homeowners in flood-prone areas and communities that do or plan nature-based flood projects |
| What changes | The flood insurance law would be updated to address ecosystem restoration projects (details not provided in the available text) |
| When | Timing is not stated in the text provided |
If more of the bill text becomes available, we could explain what types of projects qualify, how insurance costs might change, and what steps communities would need to take.
