Latest Action · July 23, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.
The FLOOD Act amends federal farm conservation law to include emergency watershed protection as an eligible program under the Regional Conservation Partnership Program. This change would allow farmers and landowners affected by natural disasters like flooding to access additional federal conservation resources and financial assistance more easily. The bill expands existing conservation tools by connecting emergency disaster relief with long-term watershed protection efforts. Senators Blunt Rochester and Justice introduced the legislation in July 2026, and it was referred to the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry for review. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines in the text provided.
