Aviation Funding Solvency Act
To provide for funding from the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund to continue certain Federal Aviation Administration activities in the event of a Government shutdown, and for other purposes.
HB6086, the Aviation Funding Solvency Act, aims to ensure continued funding for specific Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) activities during a government shutdown. The bill proposes using the Aviation Insurance Revolving Fund to maintain these critical services. This would primarily impact the FAA and its operations, ensuring that essential aviation safety and regulatory functions remain uninterrupted even when the government is not fully operational.
The bill has recently been referred to the Subcommittee on Aviation for review and has been marked up. As of December 18, 2025, the subcommittee has discharged the bill, and it was ordered to be reported (amended) by voice vote. This indicates that the bill has moved forward in the legislative process, with the next steps likely involving further consideration in the House.
The bill is a bipartisan effort, with sponsors from both major political parties. The recent key actions include its introduction, referral to the relevant committees, and a mark-up session held by the subcommittee. This progress suggests the bill is moving towards a potential vote in the House.
