Bill > AJR14

This resolution highlights the significant challenges faced by California ports due to recent tariff policies, calling upon federal agencies to address these issues comprehensively. The resolution emphasizes that ports are critical infrastructure for trade and commerce, and recent tariff impositions have caused substantial disruptions, including increased costs for importers and exporters, longer shipping turnaround times, logistical bottlenecks, and potential workforce instability. By urging federal agencies to consider the ramifications of tariff policies, the resolution seeks to develop collaborative strategies that will stabilize trade and enhance the competitiveness of California port infrastructure. Additionally, the resolution directs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to distribute copies of the resolution to relevant federal agencies, port authorities, and trade associations to advocate for policies that will mitigate the adverse effects of tariffs on trade and commerce, ultimately protecting the economic interests of ports, shipping companies, and the broader regional economies that depend on international trade.
