These provisions are aimed at maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the FAA's operations, even in challenging circumstances. Overall, Bill 119 s 1045 is designed to protect the essential functions of the FAA and ensure the safety and efficiency of the nation's aviation system, particularly during times of political gridlock and funding uncertainty.
