Maritime Administration Act for Fiscal Year 2009
Current understanding
A Senate authorization bill for the Maritime Administration covering FY2009 that bundled several program tweaks: temporary hiring authority and a sexual-harassment policy at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, small-shipyard grants and workforce training aid, higher student incentive payments at state maritime academies, extension of Title XII war-risk insurance through 2015, and a tightened national-defense test before waiving U.S. navigation and inspection laws. Calendar-reported in the Senate but never enacted.
