AI Summary
This bill, the Rhode Island Fishermen's Fairness Act of 2021, aims to amend the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to add Rhode Island to the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council. Specifically, the bill would insert "Rhode Island" after "States of" and "except North Carolina," increase the total number of Council members from 21 to 23, and increase the number of voting members from 13 to 14. This would allow Rhode Island to have a greater role in managing fisheries in the Mid-Atlantic region.
