Bill > S3791

This bill, the Regional Ocean Partnerships Reauthorization Act of 2026, extends the authorization for Regional Ocean Partnerships, which are collaborative bodies focused on ocean and coastal management, by amending the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. Specifically, it mandates that reports from these partnerships be submitted not later than five years after the bill's enactment and requires that each report be submitted, rather than just "the report." Crucially, the bill also revises the funding structure for these partnerships, increasing their authorized appropriations from fiscal year 2026 through fiscal year 2031, with specific dollar amounts allocated for fiscal years 2028 through 2031, and extending the funding period from 2027 to 2031.
