Exempt Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands from specific eligibility requirements for the essential air service program.

One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.

What’s happening with this effort?

H.R. 2216 remains in the Subcommittee on Aviation as of March 17, 2025. The House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure must hold a vote to move this bill forward, but most bills fail because committees do not take action on them. This proposal has seen no movement since March 17, 2025, and it faces the same hurdle as the expired H.R. 9407 from the previous session.
