What the document says

“(1) in paragraph (1), by inserting ``and $2,000,000 for fiscal year 2025'' after ``through 2024''; and (2) in paragraph (2), by striking ``and State and local government agencies'' and inserting ``, State and local government agencies, regional organizations, Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and foreign governments''.”

To amend the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act to improve the administration of the Marine Debris Foundation, to amend the Marine Debris Act to improve the administration of the Marine Debris Program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and for other purposes, Sec. 3

Two changes to section 118(a) of the Marine Debris Act, on the money authorized in connection with the Foundation. Paragraph (1) gains $2,000,000 for fiscal year 2025 after its reference to 2024, and in paragraph (2) the phrase and State and local government agencies is replaced by a longer list that adds regional organizations, Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations and foreign governments.

What the document actually says

“(1) in paragraph (1), by inserting ``and $2,000,000 for fiscal year 2025'' after ``through 2024''; and (2) in paragraph (2), by striking ``and State and local government agencies'' and inserting ``, State and local government agencies, regional organizations, Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and foreign governments''.”

To amend the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act to improve the administration of the Marine Debris Foundation, to amend the Marine Debris Act to improve the administration of the Marine Debris Program of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and for other purposes, Sec. 3
That sentence, in plain words

Two million dollars is added for the year 2025. A list of bodies is also made longer. Tribes and governments abroad are now on it.

What this is about

This part sets a top amount. It is not the money itself. The cash is only there once Congress hands it over.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
