H.R. 9436: To amend the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 to extend the time period for which c… (119th Congress) Bill Summary

This bill would extend the current effectiveness of certain federal regulations concerning the North Atlantic right whale.

What it does

Under existing law, a set of regulations related to protecting North Atlantic right whales is scheduled to remain in effect until 2028. This bill would change that end date from 2028 to 2035 wherever it appears in the relevant law.

Practical effect

In simple terms, the bill would keep those whale-related rules in place for seven more years than currently planned. It does not appear to create new regulations; instead, it prolongs the duration of existing ones.

Who could be affected

Because the bill concerns whale-protection rules, it could affect activities that operate in or near areas where North Atlantic right whales are present, especially if those activities are subject to the regulations being extended. That could include certain maritime or coastal operations, depending on how the underlying rules are applied.
