## Description

Will the Senate hold a floor vote on legislation to repeal or significantly weaken the Jones Act in 2026? Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced the Open America's Waters Act in June 2025 to fully repeal the Jones Act. Repeal would open domestic shipping to foreign-flagged vessels, potentially lowering coastal shipping costs but devastating the U.S. maritime industry.

## Resolution criteria

Resolves YES if the Open America's Waters Act (S.2043) or any substantially similar Jones Act repeal legislation receives a recorded Senate floor vote (yea/nay). Resolves NO if no floor vote occurs. Source: Senate.gov roll call votes and legislation tracker.
