Supporting Home Owner Rights Enforcement Act

The Supporting Home Owner Rights Enforcement Act (H.R. 2929) would require the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to prioritize the protection of private property rights when licensing hydroelectric projects like dams and reservoirs. Under this bill, federal regulators would be legally obligated to give the same weight to the property rights of local homeowners as they do to power generation and environmental concerns.

For citizens living near these project sites, the bill aims to reduce federal infringement on the use and enjoyment of their private land. Additionally, it encourages project developers to work with private landowners to promote local tourism and recreation rather than relying solely on government-managed resources.
