HR 4680 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Recognizing the value of the domestic maritime industry.

This is a symbolic resolution (not a law), introduced by Washington state House representatives. It recognizes the domestic maritime industry's role in disaster response - citing examples like evacuations after 9/11 and aid delivery during Maui wildfires - and highlights its economic impact (22,500 jobs, $1.5B in labor income). The resolution states the industry's value in supporting community resilience during natural disasters but contains no new laws, funding, or binding requirements. It directs the resolution to be sent to U.S. Congress members as a statement of support.
