Senate Sen. Whitehouse, Sheldon [D-RI] RI D W000802 0 National Oceans and Coastal Security Act This bill authorizes the Department of Commerce and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to establish the National Oceans and Coastal Security Fund as a tax exempt fund for supporting programs and activities to protect, conserve, and restore ocean and coastal resources and coastal infrastructure. Donations from a foreign government may not be deposited into the fund. Commerce must prioritize projects that have non-federal partners sharing the project costs. According to a specified allocation formula, the Foundation must award a minimum percentage of funds as grants to eligible coastal states while awarding a lesser percentage of funds to entities including states, Indian tribes, regional bodies, associations, non-governmental organizations, and academic institutions. The bill amends the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to require the President to ensure that a certain percent of offshore energy revenues are deposited into the fund. 2023-01-11T13:29:46Z https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/senate-bill/2025
