Sponsored By: Representative King-Hinds, Kimberlyn [R-MP-At Large]

In Committee

Summary

Exempts the Northern Mariana Islands from specific Essential Air Service (EAS) eligibility rules. The bill amends 49 U.S.C. section 41731(c) to add an exception that subparagraphs (B), (C), and (D) of subsection (a)(1) do not apply to locations in the State of Alaska, the State of Hawaii, or the Northern Mariana Islands. This is a single, targeted change that alters how those three jurisdictions are treated under the EAS eligibility framework.
