What this bill does
The Farmers Lifeline to Overcoming Disasters (FLOOD) Act, introduced by Representative Jimmy Panetta, aims to amend the Food Security Act of 1985. Specifically, it proposes to include the emergency watershed protection program as a covered program within the regional conservation partnership program. This would add emergency watershed protection measures, as described in a different act, to the list of programs eligible for partnership.
This bill would affect entities involved in the regional conservation partnership program by potentially expanding the types of conservation activities they can partner on. The primary goal is to enhance the application of emergency watershed protection measures through this partnership framework. The bill does not specify particular individuals or groups beyond those already participating in or affected by these existing conservation programs.
