What this bill would do

This bill is called the "Allied Partnership and Port Modernization Act." It allows certain dredge ships to operate in the navigable waters of the United States. To qualify, a vessel must be documented by a NATO member country, built by a NATO member or a major non-NATO ally, and owned and operated primarily by entities in a NATO member country. The bill also amends regulations regarding dredged material.
