Bill overview
This bill ensures the continued operation of the Harmful Algal Bloom Operational Forecasting System during government shutdowns. It does this by classifying specific services related to the system, particularly web services and server processing, as ‘excepted services’ under the Anti-Deficiency Act. This designation allows these services to continue functioning even if regular funding is unavailable, safeguarding the system’s ability to predict and forecast harmful algal blooms. The bill aims to maintain crucial public safety and environmental protection capabilities.
