Bill overview
The Open America’s Waters Act aims to loosen restrictions on vessels transporting goods and passengers along the U.S. coast, a process known as coastwise trade. Specifically, it repeals certain limitations within existing maritime regulations. The bill directs the Coast Guard to create new rules ensuring all vessels participating in this trade meet necessary safety and security standards. This change could potentially impact shipping costs and the types of vessels used for domestic transportation.
