The bill reauthorizes the Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative Act, which sits as title IV of Public Law 105-384, and rebuilds it. It strikes the old sections 403 through 405 and inserts new definitions, a restated commission, its goals and duties, and a termination date. The Northwest Straits Advisory Commission is set at 14 members: one each from the county marine resources committees of San Juan, Island, Skagit, Whatcom, Snohomish, Clallam, and Jefferson counties in Washington; two appointed by the Secretary of the Interior to represent Tribal governments; one to represent the Puget Sound Partnership; and four Washington residents appointed by the Governor. The Commission advises on monitoring the marine ecosystem of the Northwest Straits region, collects marine resources data, supports the county marine resources committees, and files an annual report to named committees of Congress. It is given no power to issue regulations or implement federal law. The authority to carry out the title ends 7 years after enactment.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 1 organization named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 4 quarterly reports filed by 1 lobbying firm in 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organization named: Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. Listed as filed. It is every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
