AI Summary

This bill, the Resilient Ports Act, amends the existing U.S. Code to expand the types of projects eligible for certain port and intermodal improvement grants. Specifically, it adds emissions mitigation measures to reduce the overall carbon footprint from port operations, as well as projects that increase a port's resilience to sea-level rise, flooding, and extreme weather events related to climate change. The bill also increases the percentage of grant funding that can be used for such resilience projects. It defines key terms like "resilience," "carbon footprint," and "climate change" to provide context around these new eligible project types.
