Resilient Ports Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Resilient Ports Act
This bill revises the Port Infrastructure Development Program with respect to port and intermodal improvement grants.
Specifically, the bill authorizes the Department of Transportation (DOT) to provide grants for projects that will be used to improve the safety, efficiency, or reliability of emissions mitigation measures directly related to reducing the overall carbon footprint from port operations.
Additionally, the bill increases from 18% to 25% the set-aside that DOT must reserve for grants for port projects that request the lesser of (1) 10% of the grant amounts made available for a fiscal year, or (2) $10 million.
In selecting projects for funding, the bill requires DOT to give substantial weight to projects that increase the port's resilience to sea-level rise, flooding, and extreme weather events, including events related to climate change.
