This bill increases the amount appropriated to the Department of Natural Resources for municipal flood control by $10,000,000. Under current law, DNR administers the municipal flood control program to provide financial assistance to local governmental units for facilities and structures for the collection and transmission of storm water and groundwater, including the purchase of perpetual flowage and conservation easement rights on land within floodways, and for the floodproofing of public and private structures that remain in the 100-year floodplain. The bill requires DNR to allocate at least 20 percent of the program's funding for projects that involve any of the following:
1. Floodproofing and elevation of structures.
