Unlikely to pass

While it has bipartisan support from California members, many bills introduced late in a session or targeting specific local infrastructure face uphill battles for national priority.

Key Points

This bill allows cities and towns to apply for federal grants to fix or strengthen their local piers. Right now, these grants are mostly for roads and bridges, but this change would include piers that face damage from storms or rising sea levels.
The plan increases the budget for a specific transportation safety program by $200 million. This extra money would help pay for the new pier projects without taking funds away from existing road and bridge repairs.
Coastal communities would benefit the most because their piers are often at risk from natural disasters. The goal is to make sure these structures can last longer and stay safe for the public to use.
