What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryAllows new market name for scup fish
Ever wondered why seafood has so many different names at the market. This bill lets a fish species called Stenotomus chrysops (commonly known as scup) be labeled and sold under a new market name: golden sea bream. It's basically giving fish sellers another approved name they can use when selling this species.
How it affects you
This change won't affect most people directly. Fish sellers and seafood retailers in regions that catch or sell this species may have a bit more flexibility in how they market it, but you're unlikely to notice any change when you're shopping for food.
