I'm glad to work with my colleagues to right this wrong and provide our states access to the funding they need to do their jobs.

GovInfo lists H.R. 8550 as introduced April 28, 2026 by Rep. Kiggans for herself, Mr. Moore of Utah, and Ms. Balint, referred to House Transportation and Infrastructure. The bill would allow states to require boating-related state fees as a condition of vessel numbering and collect them with vessel-numbering fees.

Moore’s office announced that Moore and Kiggans introduced the State Boating Act to clarify state authority to collect boating-related vessel registration fees for search and rescue, boating safety, waterway protection, and aquatic invasive species prevention/public safety programs.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. In the 119th Congress, Moore was listed at introduction on H.R. 8550, the State Boating Act, which directly addresses state authority to collect boating-related vessel fees for the named safety, waterway protection, and invasive species programs. That legislative support occurred while he was serving in the relevant federal office, so it counts as delivered in the same term.
