Bill overview
This bill, the Strengthening Buy America for Small Shipyard Grants Act, aims to ensure that grants provided by the Maritime Administration to small shipyards are used to purchase materials made in the United States. It strengthens the existing ‘Buy America’ requirement, specifying that nearly all products and materials used in these projects must be either domestically mined or manufactured. The bill includes several exceptions, allowing waivers if using domestically produced materials would be too costly or if sufficient quantities aren’t available, but these decisions must be documented in the Federal Register.
