This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being introduced in the House. It has been sent to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for review. No further actions or hearings have been scheduled at this time.
This bill targets long-standing labor protections that have strong support from unions and many lawmakers. It is unlikely to move forward in a divided Congress.

Transit workers represented by unions like the Amalgamated Transit Union and Transport Workers Union have long relied on Section 13(c) to ensure that federal funding does not come at the cost of their bargaining rights. Repealing this protection would remove the federal requirement that transit agencies honor existing collective bargaining agreements as a condition of receiving grants, potentially weakening unions' negotiating position and leaving workers vulnerable to cuts in wages, benefits, and job security.
“Subsection (b) of section 5333 of title 49, United States Code, is hereby repealed.”
Referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
