This concurrent resolution advocates for the repeal of the Jones Act, a federal law that has been in place for over a century, which restricts cargo transportation between U.S. ports to vessels that are U.S.-owned, U.S.-crewed, U.S.-registered, and U.S.-built. The resolution argues that these restrictions have led to inflated shipping costs, negatively impacting the U.S. economy and national security. It highlights that the requirement for domestic tankers to transport oil raises energy costs and contributes to environmental issues by increasing reliance on carbon-intensive transportation methods.

Furthermore, the resolution points out that the Jones Act's protectionist measures hinder competition, resulting in higher prices for domestic shipping firms and ultimately inflating costs throughout the supply chain. The New Hampshire House of Representatives expresses its support for reforming the Jones Act and plans to communicate this resolution to key political leaders, including the President of the United States and the New Hampshire congressional delegation.
