SB 984 - This act creates the "Flood Resiliency Act", which shall be a flood resiliency program administered by the Department of Natural Resources to increase flood resiliency along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and their tributaries and to improve statewide flood forecasting and monitoring ability. The state may participate in flood resiliency projects as set forth in the act. A plan, which is defined as a preliminary report describing the need for, and implementation of, flood resiliency measures, shall include information listed in the act. The Director of the Department of Natural Resources shall only approve plans if it is determined that long-term flood mitigation is needed in that area of the state, and that such a plan proposes flood resiliency measures which will provide long-term flood resiliency. Flood resiliency projects may be funded by moneys in the Flood Resiliency Fund created in the act and such projects shall be eligible to receive other contributions and grants as stated in the act.
