This bill updates what the Navy must include in its yearly report about the Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program, which is the long-term effort to modernize the Navy’s public shipyards. It amends the reporting rules set in a 2022 defense law so the annual report is adjusted going forward.

Key points:

• Who is affected: The U.S. Navy and communities served by public Navy shipyards.
• What changes: The required contents of the annual shipyard modernization report are modified, updating the earlier 2022 reporting requirements.
• When: The changes would apply to future annual reports after the bill becomes law.
