NDSP Amendment Act

This bill amends the National Dam Safety Program to prioritize safety for smaller, lower-income communities. It defines "underserved communities" as those with under 50,000 residents and median income below 80% of the state average, ensuring these areas get priority for dam rehabilitation funding. The bill requires dam owners to commit to long-term maintenance plans and mandates floodplain management plans for projects involving dam removal or modification, including community outreach. It also extends funding authorization through 2028 with updated allocation rules for states.
