To amend the Water Resources Development Act of 1986 to expand the authority of non-Federal interests to levy harbor fees.

H.R. 3028 would expand the ability of local and state authorities to collect harbor fees to pay for a wider range of transportation projects. Under this bill, these fees could be used not only for work within a harbor itself, but also for the construction and maintenance of infrastructure outside harbor boundaries, such as roads or rails that connect to the port. For citizens, this could lead to improved local transportation networks and more efficient movement of goods, though it may also result in new or adjusted fees on maritime commerce to fund these expanded regional projects.
