TASA Act of 2025

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

In Committee

Summary

This bill would expand federal cost-share eligibility for certain small and territorial airports. It links the special project-cost rule to two statutory paths: airports receiving Essential Air Service (EAS) compensation under Subchapter II of chapter 417, and airports in U.S. territories that were eligible points under the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 on October 24, 1978.

Show full summary
  • Airports receiving EAS payments: These airports could qualify for the government’s special share of project costs, making some runway, terminal, or safety projects easier to fund.
  • Territorial airports that were eligible points in 1978: Territorial airports matching the 1978 eligibility test would be covered by the special cost-sharing rule, which could raise the share of federal support for local projects.

More federal help for some airports

This bill would change which airports qualify for the federal government's share of airport project costs. An airport would qualify if it gets Essential Air Service payments under subchapter II of chapter 417. An airport would also qualify if it is in a U.S. territory and was an eligible point under section 419 of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958 on October 24, 1978. The bill does not set dollar amounts, phase-ins, or administrative rules.
