What the document says

“``(g) Principal Office.--The Board shall locate the principal office of the Foundation in the National Capital Region, as such term is defined in section 2674(f)(2) of title 10, United States Code, or a coastal shoreline community.''”

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

A new subsection (g) added at the end of section 113 of the Marine Debris Act. The Board must place the Foundation's principal office either in the National Capital Region, as that term is defined in section 2674(f)(2) of title 10, United States Code, or in a coastal shoreline community. Section 5 of this Act defines coastal shoreline community.

What the document actually says

“``(g) Principal Office.--The Board shall locate the principal office of the Foundation in the National Capital Region, as such term is defined in section 2674(f)(2) of title 10, United States Code, or a coastal shoreline community.''”

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

The Board must pick a home base for the Foundation. It can be in the capital area. Or it can be a town on the coast.

What this is about

Part 5 of this law says what a coast town means here. The rule for the capital area comes from a different law. That law is not on this site.

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.
