Recent Law Changes
New Security Zones for Vessels Carrying Dangerous Cargos in Corpus Christi
This new law establishes security zones around vessels carrying certain dangerous cargos (CDCs) on the Corpus Christi and La Quinta Ship Channels. The Captain of the Port, Corpus Christi can now designate enhanced security measures as needed for these vessels to prevent sabotage or accidents. Entry into these zones is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port or their representative. This rule takes effect on June 26, 2026.
Changes to Department of Interior's Title VI Regulations
The Department of the Interior has amended its regulations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to eliminate liability for disparate impact. Before this change, the regulations prohibited actions that had a disproportionate adverse effect on certain groups, even if there was no intent to discriminate. Now, only intentional discrimination is covered by these rules. This affects individuals and organizations regulated by the Department of the Interior who must now comply with the updated regulations. The changes took effect immediately upon publication.
