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.
