What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Industrial Certification for Coast Guard Veterans Act," aims to study how Coast Guard skills can move into the dredging industry. It requires the Secretary to submit a report to specific House and Senate committees within 180 days of enactment. The report must analyze transferable skills such as engineering and navigation. It also asks for a plan to connect retiring or separating personnel with jobs in dredging. Additionally, the report should evaluate potential credentialing programs and coordination with agencies like the Army Corps of Engineers.
