Key Points
- This law adds a place called Osceola Camp inside Everglades National Park to the Miccosukee Reserved Area.
- It tells the National Park Service to keep maps on file so the public, Miami-Dade County, and the Miccosukee Tribe can see the exact boundaries.
- It directs the federal government to work with the Miccosukee Tribe to protect buildings at Osceola Camp from flooding.
- The flood protection steps must be started and carried out within 2 years, which could mean projects like raising, reinforcing, or shielding structures from high water.
- For local residents and the Tribe, this is mainly about clearer land status and better protection from worsening flood risks in the Everglades area.
