This bill, titled the Young Fishermen's Development Extension Act, changes one line in the Young Fishermen's Development Act (33 U.S.C. 1144(a)). It replaces the year "2026" with "2031" in Section 5(a), which extends the period the original act is authorized. The bill was introduced July 17, 2025, by Senators Dan Sullivan, Lisa Murkowski, Roger Wicker, Edward Markey, and Cindy Hyde-Smith, and it was placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar (Calendar No. 351).
The bill keeps the Young Fishermen's Development Act authorized through 2031 instead of 2026. If you are a young person who fishes, or you run or use a program created under that act, the act remains authorized for a longer period. The text does not describe new programs or services; it only extends the authorization date.
The bill text only changes the authorization date and does not state any funding amounts or budgetary changes. No publicly available information on costs, appropriations, or a Congressional Budget Office score is included in the provided text or metadata.
