Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act

This bill expands the Miccosukee Reserved Area to include Osceola Camp inside Everglades National Park in Florida. It also requires steps to protect homes and other buildings in that camp from flooding, working with the Miccosukee Tribe and starting within two years after the law takes effect.

The added area is shown on an official map that the public can view at National Park Service offices, and it will also be filed with Miami-Dade County and the Tribe.

• Who is affected: People and structures at Osceola Camp, the Miccosukee Tribe, and the Everglades National Park area in Miami-Dade County.
• What changes: Osceola Camp becomes part of the Miccosukee Reserved Area; the Department of the Interior must work with the Tribe to take actions to prevent flooding damage.
• When: Flood-protection actions must begin within two years after the law is enacted.
