What A 10497 does, verified June 30, 2026

The bill aims to amend the navigation law to update base pilotage tariffs for certain waterways in the state. The new rate tables will be used to calculate pilotage tariffs, with varying rates depending on the number of pilotage units. The rate tables will be updated annually, with each update building on the previous one, to reflect changes in the cost of pilotage services. The updated rate tables will take effect immediately, with the first update applying to rates in 2023 and subsequent updates applying to rates in subsequent years.
