Bill > S2581

This bill reauthorizes the National Sea Grant College Program by amending the existing law to extend its funding authorization. Specifically, the bill changes the funding authorization period from the current timeframe to cover fiscal years 2025 through 2031, which allows the program to continue receiving federal funding for an additional six years. The National Sea Grant College Program is a federal initiative that supports marine research, education, and extension services at universities across the United States, focusing on promoting the responsible use and conservation of coastal and marine resources. By extending the authorization, Congress ensures continued support for critical marine science and coastal management activities that benefit coastal communities, ecosystems, and the economy. The amendments remove outdated language referencing previous fiscal years and replace it with the new funding period, effectively renewing the program's legislative mandate through 2031.
