The House version of comprehensive FAA reauthorization legislation, H.R.3935, took a step forward today with the Transportation and Infrastructure (T&I) Committee passing it with a vote of 63-0. The bill, the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act, received unanimous approval by voting members after the committee spent a day and a half wading through the nearly 170 amendments filed on it.

The Republican and Democratic leadership on both the full T&I committee and aviation subcommittee stood in lockstep on the bill to ensure it remained a bipartisan effort. This included voting against some provisions that they would have otherwise supported. T&I Ranking Member Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Washington), for example, voted against a measure to lift the cap on passenger facilities charges, citing a desire to preserve the compromise reached on the bill.
