A bill to ensure funds are available under the aviation workforce development grant program for technical assistance and to require consideration for certain applicants.

AI Summary

This bill amends the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018 to make changes to the aviation workforce development grant program. Specifically, it allows the Secretary to set aside up to 2% of funds for each fiscal year from 2025 to 2028 to provide technical assistance to eligible applicants for these grants. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary to consider applicants that provide assurances to use grant funds to encourage participation of underrepresented populations, address workforce needs of rural and regional airports, or strengthen aviation programs at minority-serving institutions, public universities, or public vocational schools.
