Full Analysis

1) On May 20, 2026, the House Committee on Natural Resources reported HR 3831 (H. Rept. 119-658), placing it on the Union Calendar. The bill, introduced June 6, 2025 by Rep. Webster (R-FL-11), amends Section 317 of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act to add Florida to the existing prohibition on shark feeding in the exclusive economic zone off Hawaii. The bill has 5 cosponsors and has moved through subcommittee hearings and markup. 2) The bill authorizes zero funding. It is a regulatory prohibition, not a spending authorization or appropriation. No federal dollars are involved. 3) No publicly traded company has a business model dependent on feeding sharks in Florida's EEZ. The prohibition affects recreational charter operators and individual boaters, none of which are publicly traded entities. No tickers are affected. 4) No real market data is provided. The legislative history shows steady progress through committee, but the bill's narrow scope precludes any material market impact. 5) The bill must pass the full House and Senate, then be signed by the President. Given its non-controversial nature and committee support, passage is plausible but market-irrelevant.
