Bill 118 hr 5104, also known as the National Dam Safety Program Reauthorization Act of 2023, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to reauthorize the National Dam Safety Program, which was originally established in 1996 to improve the safety and security of dams across the United States. The National Dam Safety Program is a partnership between the federal government and state governments, with the goal of reducing the risks associated with dam failures and ensuring the proper maintenance and inspection of dams. This program provides funding and technical assistance to states to help them develop and implement dam safety programs, as well as to conduct inspections and assessments of dams. If passed, this bill would reauthorize the National Dam Safety Program for an additional five years, providing funding for states to continue their dam safety efforts. The bill also includes provisions to improve coordination between federal and state agencies, enhance dam safety research and training, and promote the use of new technologies to monitor and assess dam safety. Overall, the National Dam Safety Program Reauthorization Act of 2023 aims to strengthen the nation's dam safety infrastructure and reduce the risks associated with dam failures. By reauthorizing this important program, Congress is taking proactive steps to protect communities and infrastructure from the potential devastation of dam failures.
