HR 313 Alabama House · 2026 Regular Session

Senators Tommy Tuberville and Katie Britt commended for their encouragement for the use of the Chattahoochee River to transport of goods

This bill is a non-binding resolution that formally thanks Alabama's U.S. Senators, Katie Britt and Tommy Tuberville, for their efforts to secure funding for improvements to the Chattahoochee River. It also urges the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to speed up permitting and dredging processes to allow for commercial shipping on the river. The measure aims to support local businesses by expanding a waterway that could serve as a cost-effective alternative to highway transport. Because it is a commendation rather than a law that changes funding or regulations, it does not directly affect the budget or create new legal requirements.
