This bill would change parts of the U.S. Code about dredging and dredged material. It amends 46 U.S.C. 55109(a)(3) to allow a vessel that is exempt, or is otherwise eligible, to receive a certificate and endorsement "without regard to the requirement under section 12112(a)(2)." It also amends 46 U.S.C. 55110 by removing the words "or dredged material" from the section heading and text, which excludes dredged material from the transportation requirements in that section. The bill was introduced by Senator Mike Lee on June 11, 2026, and was read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
