RISEE Act of 2023 / Reinvesting In Shoreline Economies and Ecosystems Act of 2023 is a House bill in Congress.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects coastal states near offshore wind projects and Gulf of Mexico energy production. It could also affect coastal communities that need money for shoreline protection, storm risk, habitat repair, and related infrastructure. State agencies would have new spending limits and public reporting duties.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it changes who gets money from offshore energy and what they can do with it. Coastal states could get new long-term funding for shoreline protection and coastal projects. The bill also makes states report how they spend shared revenue. At the same time, it limits some conservation uses and limits federal control over state spending within the allowed categories.

Key provisions in H.R. 913

Certain offshore wind payments would be split three ways. The U.S. Treasury would get 50%, eligible coastal states would get 37.5%, and the National Oceans and Coastal Security Fund would get 12.5%.
A state could qualify for offshore wind money if its coast is close enough to the project. At least one point on the state coastline must be within 75 miles of the lease tract's geographic center.
The Interior Secretary would have 180 days to set the state payment formula. The formula must give more money to states that are closer to each offshore wind lease tract.
States could spend offshore wind money only on listed uses. These include coastal protection, damage repair for fish and wildlife, approved coastal plans, certain onshore infrastructure tied to offshore work, and planning or administration, with administration capped at 3%.
Shared offshore wind money would not need another vote from Congress before states can use it. The money would stay available until spent and would be added on top of any other money Congress provides.
