What it does
The bill amends the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act to extend funding provisions from 2026 to 2031, increase funding flexibility for interstate fisheries commissions by removing a cap and setting a minimum based on a percentage of appropriations, and expand boating infrastructure priorities to include alternative fuel facilities for recreational vessels. It also establishes a 3 percent excise tax rate (down from 10 percent) on portable, electronically-aerated bait containers under the Internal Revenue Code, effective upon enactment. These changes affect state fish and wildlife agencies, recreational boaters, marine fuel providers, and manufacturers of specialized bait containers.
