Extend whale protections to 2035

This bill would replace every "2028" date with "2035" in a section of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. If enacted, this would keep the existing regulations protecting the North Atlantic right whale in force until 2035. Vessel operators, commercial fisheries, and other maritime businesses would still have to follow the same rules and compliance costs. The change would take effect upon enactment and makes no other policy or funding changes.
