Bill Summary
A bill to provide for funding from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund for all Federal Aviation Administration activities in the event of a Government shutdown, and for other purposes. This bill provides continuing appropriations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund if an appropriations bill for the FAA has not been enacted before a fiscal year begins or a joint resolution making continuing appropriations for the FAA is not in effect. The bill provides appropriations at the rate of operations that was provided for the prior fiscal year to continue programs, projects, and activities for which funds were provided in the preceding fiscal year.
AI Summary
This bill, the Aviation Funding Stability Act of 2019, provides continuing appropriations to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund if an appropriations bill for the FAA has not been enacted before a fiscal year begins or a continuing resolution is not in effect. This ensures that FAA operations, facilities and equipment, research, and airport grants can continue at the rate of the previous fiscal year's funding during any government shutdown. The bill also amends the Internal Revenue Code to allow expenditures from the Trust Fund for these purposes in the event of a lapse in appropriations.
