AI Summary
This bill, the Air America Act of 2023, authorizes the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency to provide one-time award payments of $40,000 to individuals who performed qualifying service as U.S. citizen employees of Air America or its affiliated companies between 1950 and 1976. The bill also allows for additional payments of $8,000 per full year of service beyond 5 years. Survivors of individuals who performed qualifying service or were killed while supporting CIA operations in Southeast Asia during this period are also eligible for these payments.

It also prohibits more than 25% of the award payment from being paid to agents or attorneys, and states that the Director's determinations are final and not subject to judicial review.
