Seawall Expansion Act

HR 6677, the Seawall Expansion Act, updates federal definitions related to coastal infrastructure under the National Levee Safety Act of 2007. It expands the definition of "levee" to explicitly include seawalls, revetments, bulkheads, and soft infrastructure like beaches and dunes, replacing narrower existing terms. This change affects federal agencies managing coastal projects (such as FEMA or the Army Corps of Engineers) by clarifying which structures qualify for federal oversight and funding under current laws. The bill makes no new funding or construction requirements, only adjusting terminology for administrative consistency.
