Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act

This bill would expand the Miccosukee Reserved Area in Florida to include a portion of Everglades National Park known as Osceola Camp. The Miccosukee Tribe of Indians would gain control over this additional land area as part of their reserved lands.

If enacted, the Department of the Interior would be required to work with the Miccosukee Tribe to implement appropriate measures to protect structures within Osceola Camp from flooding. This addresses a practical concern in the flood-prone Everglades region and reflects the tribe's interest in protecting their community and resources in this area.

The bill has passed committee review and is now eligible for a floor vote in the Senate. It would require presidential signature to become law if approved by both chambers of Congress.
