Securing Smart Investments in our Ports Act
To ensure an equitable geographic distribution of projects selected through the Port Infrastructure Development Program.
The bill, HB6866, aims to ensure a fair distribution of projects funded by the Port Infrastructure Development Program across different regions. This means the program will support port projects in various locations, rather than concentrating them in just a few areas.
This bill would affect anyone who relies on ports for commerce and transportation, including businesses, workers, and consumers. By promoting a more balanced development of port infrastructure, it could help improve economic opportunities and efficiency in different parts of the country.
As of December 18, 2025, the bill was introduced in the House and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. On February 2, 2026, it was further referred to the Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation. It is currently in the early stages of consideration.
