Review the Jones Act’s impact on Guam and pursue an exemption

Moylan is preparing language for the next National Defense Authorization Act requiring an independent review of the Jones Act’s impact on Guam and the effects of a temporary waiver. The review would examine cargo, costs, savings for families, shipping reliability, U.S. maritime strength, and military readiness, with findings made public. He supports a full exemption for Guam if evidence shows relief lowers costs while preserving security and reliable service.

Context: The review language is being prepared, not described as enacted. Support for lasting relief is conditional on findings about costs, security, and reliable service.

In their own words

I’ll keep fighting for a full exemption for Guam.
