Makes a narrow change to the Magnuson‑Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act by replacing the phrase "the State" with "the States" in the statute and inserting additional statutory text. The amendment appears intended to make the provision apply to multiple states (or to clarify multi‑state situations) and to add further direction or requirements where those words appear.
The change is technical and focused; immediate effects are procedural and administrative — it alters how the law reads and may affect how state agencies, regional fishery bodies, and federal managers coordinate or implement the statute depending on the new inserted text. Fiscal effects are likely small unless the added text creates new obligations or funding requirements.
Referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources.
