Bill > HR2751

This bill, known as the Air Traffic Controller Protection Act (ATC Protection Act), establishes new requirements for workforce changes at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Specifically, the bill mandates that if the Secretary of Transportation wants to reduce, replace, or outsource 1% or more of the FAA workforce, they must first obtain explicit approval from Congress. Before seeking such approval, the Secretary must submit a comprehensive report to Congress explaining the rationale for the proposed workforce changes and provide an analysis of how these changes would impact the overall aviation and transportation system. Additionally, the bill prohibits the Department of Governmental Efficiency from exercising control over the FAA and explicitly prevents the privatization or outsourcing of the FAA's air traffic control system. These provisions aim to protect the FAA's workforce and maintain the integrity of its operations by ensuring congressional oversight and preventing potential disruptions to air traffic control services.
