What it does

The bill amends title 46 of the United States Code to expand the eligible uses of Capital Construction Funds to include the replacement, purchase, or reconstruction of cargo handling equipment at U.S. marine terminals, in addition to vessels. It defines cargo handling equipment and marine terminals, allows terminal operators to establish such funds, and sets conditions on withdrawals—prohibiting the use of funds for fully automated equipment that would cause job losses or for cranes made in China. The bill also requires the Secretary to annually report on the domestic availability of such equipment.
