IN JUNE, PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN officially signed the Ocean Shipping Reform Act (OSRA) into law, marking the first major changes in ocean shipping laws in nearly 25 years. This represents the most recent-and most important-progress for OSRA, including: passage by a voice vote; getting bipartisan approval from U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on March 22; and OSRA being passed in December 2021 by the U.S. House of Representatives by a convincing 364-40 vote and its subsequent introduction into the Senate in February by Senator Amy Klochubar (D-Minn.) and Senator John Thune (R-S.D.). |
