Bill information
Summary
To amend title 46, United States Code, to allow Port Infrastructure Development Program grants to support the loading and unloading of commercially harvested fish and fish products, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill amends federal law to allow grants from the Port Infrastructure Development Program to fund facilities for loading and unloading commercially caught fish and fish products at ports. The Port Infrastructure Development Program provides money to improve ports across the country. Currently, the program's rules may not clearly cover fish-handling infrastructure. This bill ensures commercial fishing operations can access these federal grants for port improvements. The bill was recently introduced in Congress and is in the early stage of review.
