Save Our Seas 2.0 Reauthorization

Summary#

This bill changes a short part of the Save Our Seas 2.0 Act. It amends section 302(g) (33 U.S.C. 4282(g)) by inserting the word "in" after "described" in paragraphs (1) and (2), and by changing the year "2025" to "2030." In plain terms, it extends the authorization period for certain Environmental Protection Agency programs that address marine debris and plastic waste until 2030 and corrects a small wording issue.
