Summary
The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure held a markup session to consider several bills, including H.R. 2390, the Maritime Supply Chain Security Act, which would allow PIDP funds to replace Chinese-made cranes at U.S. ports. The committee also advanced H.R. 2351, updating Coast Guard policy to include naloxone access and expanded drug interdiction authority, and H.R. 2035, which mandates 100% cargo preference for American-flag vessels. Other measures include the Amtrak Transparency and Accountability Act, the Baby Changing on Board Act, and the Tennessee Valley Authority Transparency Act, all receiving bipartisan support. The markup concluded with a resolution designating House Press Gallery rooms as the Frederick Douglass Press Gallery, a tribute to the abolitionist and journalist. Key witnesses included members from the Coast Guard and maritime industry, and all measures were approved by voice vote and reported favorably to the House with amendments adopted by unanimous consent.
