An identical measure has been introduced in the Senate. The measure passed the House Transportation Committee in December after being introduced by House Aviation Subcommittee Chairman Frank LoBiondo (R-N.J.), and Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Wash.), ranking member of the aviation subcommittee. Additional sponsors included House General Aviation Caucus Co-Chair Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.) and Reps. Dan Lipinski (D-Ill.), Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.), Rep. Richard Hudson (R-N.C.), and Rep. Pat Meehan (R-Pa.). All of the co-sponsors are members of the House General Aviation Caucus.
