A bill to amend the Digital Coast Act to improve the acquisition, integration, and accessibility of data of the Digital Coast program and to extend the program.

This bill extends funding through 2030 for a program run by NOAA that provides a website with data, tools, and training to help manage coastal areas. It requires that all data and products created through the program be made available for free on the program's website and through other sources. The bill also says NOAA must support efforts to collect data about underground infrastructure and utilities, and that any training offered through the program must focus only on teaching people how to use the program's data and tools.
