Bill Summary
Harbor Maintenance Act of 2013 - Requires the total budget resources for expenditures from the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund for harbor maintenance programs to equal the level of receipts plus interest credited to such Fund for that fiscal year. Limits the use of such resources to such programs only. Declares that it shall be out of order in the House of Representatives or the Senate to consider any bill, joint resolution, amendment, motion, or conference report that would cause total budget resources for the Fund in a fiscal year for harbor maintenance programs to be less than the level of receipts plus interest credited to the Fund for that fiscal year.
AI Summary
This bill, the Harbor Maintenance Act of 2013, aims to ensure that all money collected and credited to the Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund, which is a dedicated fund for maintaining U.S. harbors and waterways, is actually spent on harbor maintenance programs. It mandates that the total budget allocated for these programs each fiscal year must be equal to the amount of money received by the fund plus any interest it earns. The bill also establishes a procedural safeguard in Congress, making it out of order to consider any legislation that would result in less than the full amount of collected funds being available for harbor maintenance in a given year.
