The House Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee began consideration this morning on the nearly 800-page aviation package released last week. The Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act would reauthorize the FAA for five years, include the first-ever title on general aviation in such a bill, increase infrastructure support, foster workforce initiatives, and pave the way for advanced air mobility.

The committee winnowed more than 2,000 proposals, requests, and suggestions into the comprehensive FAA reauthorization bill, H.R.3935, and today began to sort through some 170 amendments filed. T&I Chairman Sam Graves (R-Missouri) said he expected consideration to at least extend through the duration of today and possibly into tomorrow.
