## Summary

**This bill would repeal the Foreign Dredge Act’s dredging restrictions in federal law.** It would also remove the exemption that kept dredged material outside certain federal transportation rules, making that material subject to those rules.

## Provisions PRIA read

- New transport rules for dredging firms: mixed, low. If enacted, the bill would repeal 46 U.S.C. 55109 and remove the law's dredging-specific requirements. It would also amend 46 U.S.C. 55110 so dredged material would be covered by federal transportation rules. Dredging contractors, port operators, and maritime shippers would see fewer dredging rules…
