Save Our Shrimpers Act

Sponsored By: Representative Nehls, Troy E. [R-TX-22]

Passed House

Summary

Blocks U.S. support for shrimp development projects at international financial institutions for seven years. It would direct the Secretary of the Treasury to instruct U.S. Executive Directors at those institutions to oppose any financial assistance for shrimp farming, shrimp processing, or shrimp exports in a borrowing country, allow a waiver if the Secretary notifies Congress that the waiver is in the national interest, and end the restriction seven years after enactment.

U.S. would oppose foreign shrimp loans

The Treasury Secretary would tell U.S. representatives at international lenders to vote against financing for shrimp farming, processing, or shrimp exports in borrowing countries. This would start on enactment and end seven years after enactment. The Secretary would be able to waive this for a project by notifying Congress that it is in the national interest. This would likely reduce international loans for those shrimp projects and would indirectly help U.S. shrimp businesses that compete with them.
