Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
This bill continues an existing federal program that supports young people who want to start or grow careers in commercial fishing. It does this by reauthorizing the Young Fishermen’s Development Act, which means the program can keep running instead of expiring .
What’s actually changed in law is a technical update to the part of the code that authorizes the program, so the support can continue. The text does not list new rules, funding amounts, or dates beyond that reauthorization step .
