HR 6168 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Airport TIFIA Financing Certainty Act
To redefine the eligibility for airport-related TIFIA projects, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill would expand the types of airport projects that are eligible for financing through the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) program. It would allow financing for aviation facilities and equipment regardless of whether they generate revenue or are publicly accessible, as well as surface transportation and parking projects that provide access to airports. The bill also relaxes certain eligibility requirements for these airport projects and increases the maximum TIFIA loan amount from $75 million to $100 million.
