As the ranking member of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, I worked with the other members of the Committee to introduce the Aviation Funding Solvency Act.

This bipartisan legislation will ensure that, during any future government shutdowns, the U.S. National Airspace System and those responsible for its safe, efficient operation are protected from any lapses in federal funding.

During a shutdown, the bill will allow the FAA to access the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund to cover critical services that will keep our aviation system running safely for the traveling public, while ensuring the Revolving Fund has a healthy balance to address potential claims.

I am grateful to our invaluable aviation safety workforce, who, during the longest shutdown in history, did not waver in their duties to keep the flying public safe – despite not knowing when their next paycheck would come.

This bipartisan bill will ensure that the hardworking men and women who protect the flying public will continue to get paid during future shutdowns and allow the FAA to operate uninterrupted so the agency can focus on its critical airspace safety mission.

More soon,

Rick
