Table of Contents
The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation voted to report the Supersonic Aviation Modernization Act. The committee attached an amendment in the nature of a substitute, which means they replaced the original text of the bill with their own version. The committee voted to report the bill favorably, meaning they recommend the full Senate take it up for debate and a vote.
Why it matters: This action signals that the committee is willing to move forward with modernizing aviation rules for supersonic flight. It is a significant step for the aviation industry and regulators, as it moves the bill closer to a potential floor vote. However, it is still early in the process, and the bill could be amended, delayed, or killed on the Senate floor.
