The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025 aims to enhance the operational capabilities and infrastructure of the U.S. Coast Guard, focusing on accountability, personnel welfare, maritime safety, and environmental protection. The legislation seeks to bolster homeland security missions, including maritime security and drug interdiction, through increased funding and organizational changes. A key provision of the Act authorizes significant funding increases for the Coast Guard from fiscal years 2025 to 2029, allowing personnel numbers to grow from 44,500 to 60,000 by 2029.
