Posts - Bill - HR 2071 Save Our Shrimpers Act
house 03/11/2025 - 119th Congress
We're working to ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars aren't used to support foreign shrimp farms by proposing legislation that restricts federal funds from being allocated for this purpose through international financial institutions. This aims to protect American shrimpers and promote fair competition in the seafood industry.
