A bill to amend the Don Young Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2022 to modify a provision relating to the acquisition of a Coast Guard icebreaker.

This bill modifies rules for acquiring Coast Guard icebreakers under the 2022 authorization act. It requires the Coast Guard Commandant to provide Congress with detailed cost estimates for icebreaker procurement within 30 days of enactment, including future maintenance and crewing costs. It also mandates a second briefing two years after acquisition, detailing annual service-life costs. Funds for reconfiguring icebreakers cannot be used until seven days after this second briefing, except for planning activities. These changes directly affect the Coast Guard's acquisition process and congressional oversight of icebreaker funding.
