H.R. 9102 · 117th Congress
Rebuilding the United States-Flag International Fleet 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.

Rebuilding the United States-Flag International Fleet Act
This bill revises and reinstates certain transportation requirements, including requirements related to the transportation of agricultural products.
For example, the bill reinstates requirements that (1) at least 75% of gross tonnage of seaborne cargo for international food programs be carried on U.S. flagged vessels, and (2) the Department of Transportation reimburse international food programs for any cost premium under the U.S. flagged vessel cargo preference.
Additionally, the bill revises provisions related to cargos procured, furnished, or financed by the federal government, including by authorizing the waiver of U.S. flag requirements for commercial vessels carrying such cargo when the vessels are unavailable at fair and reasonable rates.
