Adds a new provision that treats defined "ecosystem restoration projects" differently under the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014: requests tied to those projects are exempt from FEMA map‑change review/processing fees, certain restoration activities may be allowed inside regulatory floodways when they meet safety and flood‑risk conditions, existing landowner‑notification steps stay in place, and FEMA must publish implementing guidance within 180 days of enactment.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
