What this bill would do
The Aviation Funding Stability Act of 2025 aims to ensure the Federal Aviation Administration continues its work during a government shutdown. If a regular appropriation or a continuing resolution is not in place, the bill allows the use of funds from the Airport and Airway Trust Fund. This funding would cover ongoing programs, projects, and activities that were active in the previous fiscal year. The bill sets specific rules for the rate of operations and the duration of fund availability. It also includes technical amendments to the Internal Revenue Code to facilitate this process.
