Hawley promised to reintroduce Sen. Claire McCaskill's duck boat safety legislation in the new Congress. In April 2019, during his first Senate term in the 116th Congress, his office announced that he introduced duck boat safety legislation, and the Senate Commerce Committee later listed S. 1031 with Hawley as a sponsor and approved it out of committee in November 2020. The promise was specifically to reintroduce the legislation, not necessarily enact it, so introduction in the same Congress fulfills the stated commitment.
