This bill would amend the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 to extend the duration of existing fishing regulations aimed at protecting the endangered North Atlantic right whale. Currently, these regulations are set to expire in 2028, but this bill would move that expiration date to 2035. As a result, any new or stricter whale-protection measures for the Northeast lobster fishing industry would also be delayed until after 2035. The bill does not change any of the rules themselves—it only extends how long they will remain in effect.
