Port Modernization and Supply Chain Protection Act

HR 6707, the Port Modernization and Supply Chain Protection Act, modifies two sections of the U.S. Code related to port dredging. It repeals Section 55109 (which previously addressed dredged material) and amends Section 55110 to remove all references to "dredged material," renaming it "Transportation of valueless material." This bill directly affects port authorities and dredging contractors by clarifying that dredged material is no longer subject to specific transportation regulations under Title 46. The change streamlines legal language but does not create new requirements or impact supply chain operations.
