The amendment specifically incorporates a new parcel of land identified as Osceola Camp into the MRA, with its boundaries precisely delineated on a designated map. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Secretary, in collaboration with the Miccosukee Tribe, must undertake appropriate actions within two years of enactment to protect structures located within the newly added Osceola Camp from flooding. This provision aims to safeguard the infrastructure and habitations within this expanded tribal area.
