What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryKeeps FAA running during budget lapses
When Congress doesn't approve funding for the Federal Aviation Administration right away, this bill provides emergency money so the FAA can keep operating. It covers up to 30 days or until regular funding is approved, whichever comes first.
How it affects you
If you fly, this affects you directly. It helps ensure air traffic control, safety inspections, and other FAA services continue even during budget gaps, so flights and airport operations aren't disrupted. This also protects FAA employees who might otherwise face furloughs or unpaid time.
