HR 4256 United States House · 119th Congress

Digital Coast Reauthorization Act of 2025

This bill extends the Digital Coast program through 2030, amending the existing Digital Coast Act. It requires NOAA to make coastal data "fully and freely available" (not just accessible) and explicitly includes underground infrastructure data in the types of information collected. The changes directly affect NOAA, which manages the program, and entities relying on its coastal data for planning and development. The bill focuses on updating program requirements rather than creating new policies.
