Plain-language change summary

The bill now urges FEMA to review Louisiana's floodplain maps every five years, ensuring they remain up-to-date. This change matters because many current maps may not accurately represent the increasing flood risks due to climate change and other factors. Regular updates will help local governments and developers make better decisions to protect communities from flooding.
