Bill > S1100

This bill, the Small Shipyards and Maritime Communities Act, seeks to amend Title 46 of the United States Code to authorize appropriations for the program that provides assistance to small shipyards and maritime communities through fiscal year 2020. Specifically, the bill increases the authorized funding for this program from $5 million to $7.5 million for grants to small shipyards, and from $25 million to $27.5 million for grants to maritime communities. Additionally, the bill requires that grants be awarded within 120 days of the appropriations act and allows the Administrator to reallocate unused grant funds to make additional grants. Finally, the bill imposes a "Buy America" requirement on projects funded by these grants, with the possibility of a waiver in certain circumstances.
