H.R.8200

Interstate Ferry Fairness Act allows privately owned ferries and ferry terminals to be eligible for federal funding.

The Interstate Ferry Fairness Act amends title 23 of the United States Code to allow privately or majority-privately owned ferries and ferry terminal facilities to be eligible for federal funding. This change permits federal participation in the construction or purchase of ferries and ferry terminals, provided they operate between two adjoining states and provide substantial public benefits. The amendments take effect one year after the enactment of the Act.
