NATCA Impact : Congress hasn't complet ed all 12 regular spending bills on time for any
fiscal year since the mid - 1990s, relying often on short - term funding patches that
continue funding levels from the previous year without major changes. The lack of a
stable and predictable funding stream lea ves the FAA in financial limbo, and prevents
government agencies such as the FAA from starting new projects or adjusting priorities.
LEGISLATIVE WATCHLIST
In addition to executive actions from President Trump, Congress is already working to
advance anti - federal employee bills, including those that would attack the use of official
time and negatively impact federal employee pay and benefits. With Republicans in
control of the House, Senate, and White House, these types of proposals are continuing
to rise. GA staff will continue to fiercely fight these proposals.
