To provide for the issuance of a Manatee Semipostal Stamp.

Bill 119 hr 704, also known as the Manatee Semipostal Stamp Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to authorize the United States Postal Service to issue a special "semipostal" stamp featuring the image of a manatee.

Semipostal stamps are a type of postage stamp where the price of the stamp is higher than the standard postage rate, with the additional funds raised going towards a specific cause or charity. In this case, the proceeds from the sale of the Manatee Semipostal Stamp would be used to support the conservation and protection of manatees, which are endangered marine mammals found in the waters of Florida and other coastal areas.

The bill outlines the design and issuance of the stamp, as well as the distribution and sale of the stamp through the postal service. It also specifies that the additional funds raised from the sale of the stamp will be deposited into a special fund dedicated to manatee conservation efforts. Overall, the Manatee Semipostal Stamp Act aims to raise awareness and support for the conservation of manatees through the sale of a special postage stamp. It provides a tangible way for individuals to contribute to the protection of these gentle creatures and their habitats.
