What this bill does
This bill, S. 2367, would allow the Secretary of Transportation to issue a special certificate for a specific vessel named AMICI. This certificate would permit the vessel to operate in coastwise trade, which generally refers to domestic shipping. The bill specifically overrides certain existing laws that regulate which vessels can engage in this type of trade.
The primary effect of this bill would be on the vessel AMICI, identified by its official U.S. number 658055. By authorizing this certificate, the bill allows AMICI to participate in coastwise trade, something it might not otherwise be able to do under current maritime regulations.
This bill was introduced in the Senate in July 1998 by Senator Christopher Dodd. As of now, its latest action is "Introduced," meaning it has been formally presented to the Senate and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. For the bill to become law, it would need to be considered and passed by that committee, then by the full Senate, and subsequently by the House of Representatives, before being sent to the President for signature.
