SOS Act of 2025

HR 2125, the SOS Act of 2025, establishes a 15-member National Commission on the Maritime Industrial Base (the "SOS Commission") to study the state of the U.S. maritime industry. The Commission will investigate shipyard conditions, military shipbuilding needs, workforce adequacy, and regulatory challenges, with a focus on national defense and job preservation. It must submit a report with policy recommendations to the President and Congress within one year of its first meeting. The bill does not enact new policies but creates a mechanism for evaluating the maritime sector to inform future decisions.
