Bill overview
This bill amends the Flood Control Act of 1941 to allow the Secretary of the Army to reimburse non-Federal sponsors for emergency repairs and restoration work related to natural disasters. It establishes a process for these sponsors to enter into agreements with the Secretary, ensuring compliance with labor and safety regulations. The bill also removes a previous annual limit on these reimbursements, allowing for greater flexibility in responding to disaster recovery needs. Essentially, it expands the Corps of Engineers' ability to support local communities after floods.
