Bill overview
This bill aims to protect funding for the National Weather Service and the Great Lakes region within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). It prevents the President from withholding or reallocating these funds without specific Congressional authorization following the bill’s passage. The bill requires NOAA to annually certify compliance with these protections to several key Congressional committees. Essentially, it strengthens congressional control over these specific funding streams.
