Senate Might Not Act On Must-Pass Aviation Bill Until September
Senate action on a must-pass aviation bill may not take place until September — the same month the legislation faces a deadline.
Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), chairman of the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, told reporters that the timing of a long-term bill to reauthorize the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) will hinge on how the upper chamber tackles other legislative priorities, including a defense policy bill.
