Congressman John Garamendi said, “We are committed to securing passage of this legislation and to continuing the vital work of revitalizing our maritime sector,” and called the hearing “an encouraging sign of growing bipartisan momentum... advancing the SHIPS Act.”

As of April 22, 2026, Garamendi was still publicly pushing for passage rather than reporting enactment; this supports that the commitment remained active and unresolved.

The Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces will meet jointly with the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee’s Subcommittee on the Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation to receive testimony on government and commercial shipbuilding programs as well as efforts to bolster the maritime industrial base and support commercial maritime interests.

On April 22, 2026, House committees were still actively holding a shipbuilding hearing focused on the same maritime policy space, consistent with ongoing efforts rather than completion of the SHIPS for America Act goal.

"We are committed to securing passage of this legislation and to continuing the vital work of revitalizing our maritime sector," said Congressman Garamendi. "Today’s hearing on shipbuilding is an encouraging sign of growing bipartisan momentum and interest in both revitalizing our nation’s shipbuilding industry and advancing the SHIPS Act."
