FISH Wellness Act of 2023
This bill requires commercial fishing vessel operators and crew to receive safety training addressing behavioral and physical health risks, including substance use disorder and fatigue. It increases annual funding for these programs from $3 million to $6 million for fiscal years 2024 and 2025. The bill also allows the Department of Transportation to transfer funds to the Department of Health and Human Services to administer the training grant programs. These changes directly affect commercial fishing crews and vessel operators by mandating new wellness-focused safety training and providing dedicated funding for implementation.
