The U.S. Code establishes the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund and makes its amounts available for expenditures to carry out the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act, boating infrastructure purposes, and coastal wetlands purposes. The code note for the 2021 amendment says Public Law 117-58 substituted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and changed the cutoff from October 1, 2021, to October 1, 2026.

Codified law confirms the trust fund authority remained extended to October 1, 2026, after the IIJA amendment.

46 U.S.C. 13107 directs the Secretary to expend each fiscal year for state recreational boating safety programs an amount equal to amounts transferred under section 4 of the Dingell-Johnson Sport Fish Restoration Act, lists eligible boating safety uses such as education, law enforcement, training, access sites, inspections, emergency/search and rescue facilities, waterway markers, and vessel numbering, and notes Public Law 117-58 amended subsection (c)(2).

Current boating-safety authorization ties state recreational boating safety spending to Dingell-Johnson funding and reflects the IIJA amendment, confirming implementation of the recreational boating safety side of the commitment.
