Add and protect Osceola Camp

This bill sought to add the part of Everglades National Park called Osceola Camp to the Miccosukee Reserved Area. Had it passed, the area was defined by a July 2023 map (no. 160/188443) and copies would have been kept for public inspection at National Park Service offices. Had it passed, copies of the map would also have been filed with Miami-Dade County and the Miccosukee Tribe. The bill also would have required the Interior Secretary, in consultation with the Miccosukee Tribe, to protect structures in Osceola Camp from flooding within two years of enactment; it did not name funding or specific protection methods.
