Summary
A bill to appropriate, with an offset, $36,000,000 for the Seafood Import Monitoring Program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to increase audits of imported shrimp and red snapper.
Plain-language summary
This bill would provide $36 million to the Seafood Import Monitoring Program, which is run by NOAA (the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). The money would pay for increased inspections of imported shrimp and red snapper to check for illegal fishing or other violations. The bill includes an offset, meaning the money would come from cuts elsewhere in the budget rather than adding to total spending. The bill was introduced by Senator John Kennedy and is currently awaiting review.
