FEMA must transfer such functions by 18 months after enactment of this bill.

The bill changes the membership composition of the Technical Mapping Advisory Council.

The bill amends the National Flood Insurance Act to direct the USGS to charge policy holders a fee for the purpose of recovering the cost of mapping activities.
