Flood Protection and Infrastructure Resilience Act of 2023

This bill increases federal funding for repairing aging flood control infrastructure and enhances watershed protection programs. It directly affects local organizations managing dams, levees, and water systems by allowing them to receive up to 90% federal cost coverage (instead of 65%) for rehabilitation projects in limited-resource areas. Key provisions include requiring the Secretary to consider long-term watershed health when restoring damaged areas and expanding the Regional Conservation Partnership Program to prioritize flood/drought mitigation, water protection, and sustainable land use on a regional scale. These changes aim to strengthen community resilience against flooding through targeted infrastructure investment and broader resource management.
