Summary

Revises the statutory language governing the Digital Coast program to narrow the scope of allowable trainings so they are limited to technical instruction on how to use data and tools provided by the program. It also makes punctuation and internal wording changes in the statute to clarify existing text. The change is programmatic and procedural rather than budgetary: it constrains what kinds of trainings the program may offer or support, which affects partners, trainers, and users of Digital Coast products but does not itself create new funding or broad new authorities.

• Limits Digital Coast program trainings to technical instruction on using program-provided data and tools.
• Revises internal statutory wording and punctuation to clarify program text.
• Removes authorization for non-technical trainings (e.g., broad policy, engagement, or decision-making workshops).
• Does not show new funding or appropriations in the provided excerpt.
• Requires program managers and partners to revise curricula, contracts, and guidance to match the narrower training scope.
• May shift some training demand to other programs or organizations that can offer non-technical instruction.
• Primarily a programmatic and administrative change rather than a substantive expansion of authority.
• Could improve clarity and focus of training offerings but may reduce support for applied/interpretive capacity-building.
