“ This is huge news for Montana. Critical ecosystem restoration projects across our state have been abandoned due to FEMA’s onerous and costly ‘No Rise’ rule. This commonsense, bipartisan bill will reduce unnecessary burdens on important conservation and restoration work, while continuing to keep our communities safe from flooding, and I’m glad to see it pass the Senate. Next step: the U.S. House!” said Daines.

Daines said his bipartisan Floodplain Enhancement and Recovery Act will reduce unnecessary burdens on conservation and restoration work while keeping communities safe from flooding, and identified the House as the next step.

Assessments

Public state: pending As of 2026-10-09 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): unresolved. same_term A for effort

The verified commitment described the bill as still needing House action. Verified evidence shows S. 1564 passed the U.S. Senate and headed to the House, GovInfo lists it only as engrossed in the Senate, and the latest verified House status was held at the desk on Oct. 5, 2026. Because the promised outcome requires passage/enactment to reduce burdens, Senate passage alone does not fulfill it. Daines materially contributed because verified bill text shows it was introduced by Murray for herself and Daines, supporting effort credit but not delivery.
