HR 504 United States House · 119th Congress

Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act

This bill expands the Miccosukee Reserved Area (MRA) to include Osceola Camp within Everglades National Park, directly affecting the Miccosukee Tribe by adding specific land to their protected area. The expansion uses a designated map (dated July 2023) for precise boundaries, requiring the National Park Service to keep it publicly available and file copies with Miami-Dade County and the Tribe. It also mandates that the Secretary of the Interior, within two years of enactment and in consultation with the Tribe, implement flood protection measures for structures in Osceola Camp. These changes formalize land boundaries and address flooding risks for the Tribe's properties within the park.

Engrossed in House → Enrolled Bill · 3 edits

MINOR

This diff reflects the transition of HR 504 from its House-engrossed version to the final enrolled version, meaning it passed both chambers and is ready for presidential signature. No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions; the differences are entirely formatting and structural, including standard enrolled bill language (Congress header, enactment clause, signatures) and reformatting of section text from line-by-line to inline paragraph style.

TECHNICAL

The short title now uses quotation marks around the act name ('Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act') consistent with standard enrolled bill formatting.

Sections 2 and 3 were reformatted from separate line-by-line entries into inline paragraph text, but the substantive policy content (expanding the Miccosukee Reserved Area to include Osceola Camp and requiring flood protection actions within 2 years) is unchanged.

Standard enrolled bill elements were added: 119th Congress header, 'Be it enacted' clause, and signature lines for the Speaker of the House and Vice President/President of the Senate.
