Bill > HR6866

This bill, titled the "Securing Smart Investments in our Ports Act," aims to amend the Port Infrastructure Development Program to ensure that projects funded through this program are distributed fairly across different regions of the United States. Specifically, it adds a requirement to consider the equitable geographic distribution of selected projects when awarding grants for port and intermodal improvements, as well as for assistance provided to smaller inland river and coastal ports and terminals. The Port Infrastructure Development Program is a federal initiative that provides grants to improve port infrastructure, which is crucial for the efficient movement of goods and economic activity.
