About This Bill

Latest Action · May 7, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
This bill would prevent the Department of Transportation from requiring airports to reduce the size of their runways, aprons, or taxiways in order to receive federal funding, as long as those airports directly support an Air Force or Air National Guard base. The prohibition applies regardless of whether military aircraft are currently stationed at the base. The legislation essentially protects military-affiliated airports from having to choose between shrinking their infrastructure and losing federal financial assistance. The bill was introduced in May 2024 and referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure but does not specify any funding amounts or implementation timeline.
