Current Bill Summary

SCR 25 - This resolution strongly urges the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to: re-examine the flood plan for the Mississippi River, conduct its river operations to avoid flooding disasters like those experienced in 2011, and rebuild the damaged levees as quickly as possible. The resolution also encourages communities to restore prime agricultural lands that were damaged by the flooding and strongly encourages Missouri's congressional delegation to support Mississippi River management policies that minimize flood events.
