This bill would change the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to prohibit feeding sharks in the United States exclusive economic zone off the State of Florida. The text amends section 317 by changing the phrase "the State" to "the States" and inserting "and Florida" after "Hawaii."
If you feed sharks in the exclusive economic zone off Florida, that activity would be prohibited under this change. The bill text does not provide details on penalties, enforcement, or when the prohibition would take effect.
