HR 5920 United States House · 119th Congress

District of Columbia Flood Prevention Act of 2025

HR 5920, the District of Columbia Flood Prevention Act of 2025, amends the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 to explicitly include the District of Columbia as an eligible entity for federal funding under that program. This change directly affects the District of Columbia, allowing it to access federal funds previously unavailable for coastal zone management and flood prevention planning. The bill's sole mechanism is adding "District of Columbia" to the list of eligible jurisdictions in Section 304(4) of the Act. It does not create new flood prevention measures but enables DC to utilize existing federal funding for coastal and flood management efforts.
