What's in it

See official bill text

The number on this bill, 3935, started out as a different bill: the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act. That entire text was removed and replaced with the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, which is the text that was voted on. The official record now files it under the new name too.

The House passed this bill's original text — the Securing Growth and Robust Leadership in American Aviation Act — in Jul 2023, before the text was replaced. That vote was not a vote on the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024.
