This bill would change part of title 46 of the United States Code to say that money from the Port Infrastructure Development Program can be used to upgrade or replace port cranes or parts of port cranes, including hardware and software. The rule applies when those cranes or parts were installed or provided by the People's Republic of China, or are maintained, controlled, or sponsored by the People's Republic of China or its agencies. The bill also separates projects to improve port resilience from the new crane upgrade or replacement language.
If you operate or manage a port, this bill would make you eligible to seek Port Infrastructure Development Program funds to replace or upgrade cranes, crane hardware, or crane software that meet the bill's China-related conditions. The bill was introduced by Representative David Rouzer on March 26, 2025, and is in progress in congressional committees.
The bill text does not set specific dollar amounts or new appropriations. No publicly available information on total costs or budget estimates is included in the provided materials.
