Enhancements to the connectivity and security of the nation’s supply chain are proposed in legislation recently introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives.
The Ocean Shipping Reform Implementation Act would focus primarily on freight activity along domestic ports to promote an efficient movement of goods and supplies. The bill, introduced by Reps. Dusty Johnson (R-S.D.) and John Garamendi (D-Calif.), is meant to reinforce provisions approved in the Ocean Shipping Reform Act, enacted into law in 2022. The two policymakers are members of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
