A divided House Appropriations Committee advanced its final spending bill for fiscal year 2023 that provides $987 million for the Maritime Administration. That includes $300 million for the Port Infrastructure Development Program, an increase of $66 million above the fiscal year 2022 enacted level, $318 million for the Maritime Security Program and $60 million for the Tanker Security Program. Advanced by a vote of 32 to 24, the bill includes $105.4 billion for the Department of Transportation, an increase of $2.4 billion above the current fiscal year. That partisan vote signals the Transportation and Housing and Urban Development bill faces a difficult path. |
