House Lawmakers Introduce Aviation Workforce Bill
A companion to a Senate bill, a new House bill would create a national center focused on development of aviation workers.

As the congressional session is in its final months, lawmakers are signaling that they remain concerned about future workforce challenges with the introduction of the National Center for the Advancement of Aviation (NCAA) Act of 2020. Introduced last week by House aviation subcommittee chairman Rick Larsen (D-Washington) along with subcommittee members André Carson (D-Indiana) and Don Young (R-Alaska), the bipartisan bill, H.R.8532, is the House companion to similar legislation introduced in the Senate earlier this year by Sens. Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) and Tammy Duckworth (D-Illinois), who are both pilots.
