Today, U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06) voted to strengthen the overseas supply chain and bolster exports from American businesses with H.R. 4996, the Ocean Shipping Reform Act. This is the latest legislative action that the Democratic House is taking to fix the supply chain struggles that are impacting American consumers and businesses.

"Supply chain snags are hurting Illinois families and businesses: inflicting higher costs, added delays and more shortages," said Rep. Casten. "That is why I proudly voted for the Ocean Shipping Reform Act, which will help iron out bottlenecks in the shipping industry so that families can buy what they need and businesses can get their goods to market. And in doing so, we take an important step to create a supply chain that can unleash American competitiveness for decades to come."
