Latest Action · December 12, 2023
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.
The Air Security Act of 2023 extends a ban on federal airport improvement grants for one additional year. The legislation, introduced in December 2023, targets entities that have violated intellectual property rights belonging to U.S. companies by prohibiting them from receiving these federal funds through 2024 instead of allowing the restriction to expire in 2023. This measure affects foreign and domestic entities that have been found to infringe on American intellectual property protections. The bill modifies an existing provision from the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, simply extending the timeline of the current prohibition without authorizing new funding or establishing new enforcement mechanisms.
