Sport Fish Restoration, Recreational Boating Safety, and Wildlife Restoration Act of 2025
This bill extends funding deadlines for sport fish restoration and recreational boating programs through 2031, updating prior expiration dates. It clarifies funding for interstate fisheries commissions and adds new definitions for alternative marine fuel infrastructure, including facilities dispensing fuels derived from recycled oils or plant materials. The bill also establishes a 3% tax rate (down from 10%) for portable, electronically-aerated bait containers sold by manufacturers. These changes primarily affect recreational boaters, sport fishing programs, and facilities seeking to install alternative fuel infrastructure.
