Flood Resiliency and Land Stewardship Act

Sponsored By: Representative Hinson, Ashley [R-IA-2]

Introduced

Summary

Expands the Regional Conservation Partnership Program to add flood prevention, drought mitigation, and flood resiliency as core purposes. It would apply those purposes to natural resource concerns on eligible land at a regional or watershed scale.

Show full summary
  • Farmers and landowners: Would let conservation projects that explicitly target flood prevention or drought resilience qualify under RCPP on eligible regional or watershed-scale land.
  • Communities in flood-prone areas: Would let regional watershed projects prioritize reducing flood damage and boosting local resilience across multiple properties and landscapes.
  • Conservation and wildlife interests: Keeps soil, water, and wildlife conservation as core aims so resilience projects can be designed alongside habitat and land stewardship goals.

*Would not add new funding, authorizations, or program mechanics and therefore would not directly increase federal spending.*

More flood-resilience projects for farms

If enacted, this would add flood and drought prevention to a USDA conservation partnership program. Projects on eligible land at a regional or watershed scale would be considered. Farmers and landowners could be more likely to get support for projects that reduce flooding or improve drought resilience. The bill would not add new funding or change how the program runs. Any help would depend on which projects are selected and available funds.
