Stop Illegal Fishing Act

This bill requires the President to punish foreign ships and people involved in illegal, unreported, or unregulated fishing. The punishments include freezing any property or money they have in the United States and blocking them from entering the country. People who break these rules can face both civil and criminal penalties. The President can skip these punishments in certain cases, like when national security is involved or when someone on a covered ship needs life-saving help, and must regularly update Congress on how the law is being carried out.
