AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill renews federal support for Regional Ocean Partnerships, which are groups that coordinate ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes management across states. It sets yearly funding levels from about $10.6 million in fiscal year 2028 to about $11 million in fiscal year 2031, and extends the funding period to cover 2026 through 2031. It bars the partnerships from using this money to develop regulatory proposals, model regulations, or compliance programs. It also requires a new report within 5 years and changes some wording in the existing law, including replacing "Mexico" with "America" and removing Vermont from one listed region.
