| 摘要： | The Kentucky legislature has approved a resolution to support the Jones Act.Titled House Concurrent Resolution 5, the International Propeller Club's Port of Paducah (Ky.) collaboratively authored the initial resolution language with the American Waterways Operators and took the lead in efforts to pass it.It was passed on third reading from the Kentucky House of Representatives 35-1 on March 16, signed by the Speaker of the House and the Senate president and delivered to Gov. Andy Beshear's office.In addition to recognizing the importance of the Jones Act, the resolution commemorates the centennial anniversary of its passing and encourages Congress to maintain its provisions.The Jones Act is formally called the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. It requires that boats operating in domestic trade be U.S. owned and crewed and that those vessels must be built within the United States.Port of Paducah Propeller Club President Caleb King said the club has, over the past few years, progressively worked on redefining what it can do, what it needs to do and how it can be of value to the maritime community in Kentucky and the surrounding region. |
