The House approved a bill on Monday to extend federal aviation funding, which is currently set to expire on Wednesday, until March 2016.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The measure, introduced on Friday by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Bill Shuster (R – Pa.), was approved by the lower chamber on a voice vote Monday afternoon in an effort to prevent an interruption in the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) funding midweek.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The quick House action follows an earlier Senate effort to attach the FAA funding extension to a bill to prevent a government shutdown on Oct. 1 that failed last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
