Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025
Key claim: The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2025 (HR4275) was received in the Senate and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Abstract
(HR4275 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-07-23): Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
Why this matters
Coast Guard authorization acts set the multi-year policy and funding framework under which the Coast Guard exercises its safety, navigation, and port security authorities. Senate referral to the Commerce Committee advances the bill toward potential enactment, but at this stage the practical effect on maritime transportation safety is limited to procedural progress.
