HR 1213 United States House · 118th Congress

RESCUE Whales Act of 2023

HR 1213, the RESCUE Whales Act of 2023, repeals Title I of Division JJ in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 (Public Law 117-328). This provision specifically removed a modification that had altered how certain conservation funding was allocated under environmental laws protecting whales. The bill directly affects the implementation of that funding mechanism by restoring the prior legal framework. It is a procedural change with no new policy requirements or direct impact on whale conservation efforts beyond reversing the 2023 funding adjustment.
