Plain-English Summary
The proposal would prevent the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) from closing any of its offices or facilities without first getting approval from Congress. This would affect federal employees who work at NOAA locations and the public services those offices provide, such as weather forecasting, marine research, and coastal management. The bill essentially gives lawmakers a say in whether NOAA can consolidate operations or shut down regional centers.
