House Sends Aviation Reauthorization to Senate
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
On July 11, the House approved by voice vote an extension of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reauthorization (HR 636). The extension runs until September 2017 and continues the current levels of funding for FAA programs. The bill does not contain the controversial provision to privatize the operation of air traffic control. The Senate must now act quickly since the current authorization expires Friday, July 15. It is uncertain at this point if all 100 Senators support moving the legislation forward.
