Bill overview
This bill changes the way the Missouri River Mainstem Reservoir System is managed. It prioritizes flood control above all other uses, specifically removing the protection of fish and wildlife as an authorized purpose. The bill directs the Chief of Engineers to update the system’s operating manual to reflect this new priority. This legislation aims to ensure the reservoirs are primarily used to mitigate flood risks along the Missouri River.
