Save Our Shrimpers Act
The Save Our Shrimpers Act directs the U.S. Treasury to instruct American representatives at international financial institutions to vote against funding projects related to shrimp farming, processing, or export in borrowing countries. This restriction includes a waiver provision that allows the Treasury Secretary to override the vote if they determine the project serves the national interest, with the requirement to notify Congress. The mandate to oppose such financial assistance is set to expire seven years after the bill is enacted.
